Who the fuck streams or downloads movies in 4k? What kind of uber connection do you people have and do you sit five inches from the television analyzing pixels and crying if one looks to be out of place?
I’ve seen 4K and it doesn’t impress me even a little bit. Boo hoo hoo get glasses I know, I have glasses, I can see, 4K is worthless and probably why all of these internet providers want to destroy net neutrality and have tiered connections. At a proper viewing distance, 1080 is more than enough.
I can stream 4K over 100mb connection quite fine and I can see a remarkable difference when viewed on a decent panel. You enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy.
4k streams with very little compression at around 50 Mbps. If you use some decent compression (like most streaming services do), you can cut that in half. That is a very reasonable bandwidth for the average American.
Nobody NEEDS 4k, but it’s not like some crazy luxury or placebo. If I’m watching a 1080p stream on a big 4k TV and sitting back on the couch, I can absolutely tell the difference. 1080p is tolerable, but I would definitely choose 4k if it’s available.
Some people still think HDR is only available in 4k (because that’s how most movies are distributed). But you can absolutely fit an H.265 HDR 10-bit 1080p (or 4k) movie on a data DVD±R, or H.266 HDR 720p on a CD-R. It’s usually not worth the effort, though.
And you can only appreciate the resolution if the screen takes up enough of your visual field, and HDR only in a glare-free dark environment. My small LCD TV offers neither so there is no reason to download movies above 720p (even DVD over RGB looks sharp on it).
Don’t blame me that you fell for the industry trying to sell people more expensive crap every year treadmill because capitalism profits have to go up every year even if the product is essentially worthless or not any better than what you already have. Be smarter than that.
Every year? This was my first new decent television ever, and I’ve had it for 4. Am I not allowed to play games on a nice screen? My non-existent TV was certainly not just as good as this one, I can promise you that. This has far nicer colors than the invisible one.

Why so angry. I’m sure you don’t analyse every pixel of 1080p either. I rarely stream but instead download for watching later and the time difference for download makes no difference.
I have 32-inch 4k monitor and I sit about a meter away from it. 4k is quite distinct to 1080p on my monitor.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever read in my life.

It’s not even about 1080p vs 4k. It’s about sdr vs hdr.
I mean…that is also a factor, yes, but resolution also matters.

I’ve literally only seen like 1 movie that was 1080p hdr lol
I have only ever downloaded a 720p HDR file once. They are indeed rare.
One would imagine those with 4K tvs would want to stream in 4K. Lol wtf? Is this some bizarre copypasta?
Dudes got the CRT out of the closet, and he’s on a rampage!
