    Torrenting (especially with debrid services) is such a blessing for 4k. Even bluray 1080p looks amazing compared to the “4k” streaming services that gives like half that bitrate.

    Piracy, piracy, piracy. I have 60TB of Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray movie files. Some are even better than the original disks because the uploading pirate makes a new file using the best video from one disk (like from Japanese release) then the audio from another (say French) and other stuff from other disks getting you a better version than any Blu-ray available to buy in the world!

    And for many streaming services, getting true 4K streams costs extra.

    Otherwise they just feed you the 4K content but in lower resolution.

    Because it isn’t subjective. It’s optics. I don’t abide jibjab. Write better if you just mean that you’re blind and couldn’t see the difference between watching Videoman and a Dolby Cinema. And just as cheap, apparently, because 1080-anything is either extinct or about to be… And replaced by 4K/3K/2K forthe same price.

    I’m not being hostile, I’m being smug. I can change to hostile if you like?
