    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 would try 5 or even 6K.

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

                  Yes. 4k is awesome. Well worth the upgrade.

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

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

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

                            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.

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

                                  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.

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

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