Those who want movies with the very highest quality will be keen on 4K Blu-ray's better resolution, color, and dynamic range. Yet millions seem happy with streaming video, despite its shortcomings.
The first 4K Blu-ray disks have become available for preorder on Amazon with pricing from $30. Here's all the discs announced so far.
Samsung and Panasonic both tout the next generation of Blu-ray at CES.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment today announced the studio’s first releases in the next-generation 4K Ultra HD™ Disc format, which will arrive in early 2016.
With a Blu-ray film dropping other language tracks, extras, etc you can shrink the size of a file from about 50gb to 25-30 without losing quality.
4k movies on the other hand are 100gb plus which is just crazy when you try to wrap your head around it. Now this figure I believe is referring to standard 90 minute films - imagine the raw size of say The Return of the King Extender edition!
Great news! I hate streaming. My connection is never stable. Discs FTW!
