It seems like that is the way things are moving, and I want to buy some new movies on blu ray. However, perhaps I should buy them on 4K and plan ahead for a 4K TV. But is it worth getting compared to HD?
Also will SD DVDs look bad, or even worse, on a 4K TV or now?

I agree. I stopped trying to keep up with this sort of thing with DVDs.

It's not that great. The upgrade isn't as big as SD to HD.

Oh okay thanks. But how many movies look good in 4K though? Okay for example, would a movie as famous as say, Predator look good in 4K? I am just wondering if there are enoug h movies out there that have good 4K transfers that it's worth it. Cause I do not watch TV shows hardly, just movies mainly.

I suggest getting one of the brand new 12K sets.

I have a 43" 4K TV. Still it doesn't get much better than 720p. You really need a big screen to take advantage of 4K. That's the main reason why you don't find too many small ones.
About 480p–That's all I have on my Netflix account.

Lol, no, I should have been more specific. More like a 15 inch laptop screen for a movie pirate.

Are you saying 480p looks fine on a 4K TV?

I don't know what people are talking about. 480p is just fine. Well worth the smaller file size.

If you steal enough books from Walmart you can exchange them for a new 4k tv, no questions asked.
