Disc market share for week ending in 2024-01-13: "Oppenheimer" continues to dominate the #1 spot. DVD, as usual, takes up over half the market share, leaving Blu-ray and UHD in the dust. (lemmy.ml)

Who the hell buys DVDs? Pretty much everybody has a 4k TV these days where DVDs look like shit. And Blu-ray players are dirt cheap too. I don't get it.

Who the hell buys DVDs?

People who want 4.7-8.5 G of data on a 0.56 oz disc

Pretty much everybody has a 4k TV these days

That can feed me unblockable ads on startup and spy on me to google? Ja!

where DVDs look like shit.

They look fine on my TV.

And Blu-ray players are dirt cheap too. I don’t get it.

Woah there, Rockefeller. I've yet to come across a new bluray player for less than €60 and all those only connect via hdmi.

Greetings fellow geezer! You are of course absolutely right. Why would one replace that trusty 20 year old CRT with some of those new fangled flat screens? VHS was the best anyway!

I'm having a hard time telling if you're serious, but ...yeah.

Why would one replace that trusty 20 year old CRT

My daily driver is 2 2 years old and they only get classicer from there.

VHS was the best anyway!

Probably why you can still buy it. 😗👉👉

I’m having a hard time telling if you’re serious

Well, let's just say, I have a 65" OLED TV and I bought LotR on 4k Blu-ray, even though I already had the DVD and the Blu-ray editions.

OLED TV

Letters dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

LotR on 4k Blu-ray

Lord of the Rings was fine on paper.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

Guilty as charged

What’s that UHD category? HD DVD died right, that’s not Blu-ray nor HD DVD?

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

"4K Ultra HD Blu-ray" is the latest home video format introduced in 2016. It is still a Blu-ray disc, but it uses a different video codec, is in 2160p and utilizes HDR.

To watch 4K UHD movies, you need a 4K TV/projector with support for HDR, a 4K UHD player (although the PS5 and Xbox Series X support 4K UHD playback), and a high-end surround sound system, preferrably one that supports Dolby Atmos.
