$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

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.

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.

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.
