DylanC Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Tempted to upgrade to a 4K tv and 4K blu ray player (when I have the cash). Anyone got one yet? I usually watch standard 1080p blu rays atm. Is it worth upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm also tempted for a 4K tv but 4k blue ray I'm not sure if its worth it, I already have tons of dvds and a few blue rays but I dont want to invest on 4k blue ray discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jump from standard definition to 1080p was huge imho. The sound quality is also better with blu rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I have one. They're nice and all, but they fight you when trying to play a 4K disc. The technology has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. It's fine for Blu-ray and DVD, but you're most likely going to be returning it and exchanging it several times before you give up and settle , like I did. Occasionally you can get the 4K to work, but it's a lot of fighting. It's like a monkey fucking a football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t sound too good 😬 I think if I did get one, it’d be a cheap Xbox One S - possibly factory refurbished or something like that to save some cash. Still, not got a 4K TV yet, so just waiting for the right deal to come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Viper Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'd say not really 4K streaming isn't quite even with playing off a disc, but it's close enough, especially with the right setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, I read somewhere that the majority of movies are mastered in 2K anyway, so it’s hard to see as discernible upgrade as, say, jumping from standard to 1080p. Still, streaming 4K is definitely another viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
