4k just might not be worth the data for people.
Honestly I don't see a difference in 4k/1080p with streamed media. Physical media on the other hand is night and day.
It can be about the compression. I know I had downloaded like 4 versions of Your Name because it has been re-encoded by several different groups and sometimes higher resolution with more compression was far worse to look at than lower resolution with good bit rate.
Some people have a magic touch and they just make incredible files and I so want their settings for handbrake when I rip my own media.
Great info. Unfortunately for me, this requires more energy than I've got laying around.
This is what it is for me. I’m blind in one eye and wear glasses because I’m near sighted with astigmatism in the other.
It’s really hard for me to tell the difference and most of my library is 1080 or 720 because it mostly looks the same to me. I don’t want to give up the extra storage Ford 4k files.
