4K Blu-ray Movie Releases Announced

[RolloTheGreat]

So, you have LOTR on Blu-ray and have never tried Blu-ray and don't think you will notice a difference?

Get yourself downtown and grab the DVD version of LOTR (or stream it from the cable co).  Watch the first half hour of each.

Let us know your findings.  If you can't tell the difference between 480p and 1080p (dvd is 480p, Blu-ray 1080p) then you are blind.  As for streaming it, depends on if the cable co streams the DVD or Blu-ray version to you, but the stream should still be noticeably worse than the Blu-ray due to trancoding/recoding by the cable co.

I've rented about a dozen BluRays over the years, just didn't re-watch LOTR.

I also have a HD DVD player in my living room and have watched the dozen or so movies I own on that.

Sure it's "better" but not enough that I care to obtain physical media.

This whole thing is a lot like my buddy trying to convince me I need a DSLR when I'm happy with my fairly nice Panasonic Lumix pocket camera. It's not a DSLR, but I've never looked at the pictures and said "Damnit! This sucks! I'm buying a DSLR!"
