If you really think I am the market "norm" in terms of what people own, buy or like...you are delusional. I would buy a Plasma over LCD any day. Currently I'm rocking a 65 inch 4K TV but will sell it and get a 4K DLP projector once its widely available. I tend to get the best of the best because I have the means and interest in technology.

However unlike some people here I fully know that 95% of the population doesn't give a shit that plasma has deeper blacks and response time, that 144hz gaming on PC's rapes the consoles or that Bluray non compressed quality is slightly better than digital.

The bottom line is that the general population lives in the "good enough" state of mind when buying technology. Even for me who demands the best, bluray and physical media is a a shittier option due to sheer convinience. Digital video distribution today is more than adequate for someone with high end gear in order to enjoy content to the full extent.

You only find blu-ray slightly bettter than streaming? Where do you stream from? I see a massive difference on a 92" 1080p screen, yet even on 65", I assume with a 4K upscaling blu-ray player, the difference should be profound. Nevermind the difference in sound.

Really your first and second paragraph contradict each other.

Or maybe I understood wrong, yes the general population with a small tv or 720p / HD ready variant won't see a big difference. Anyway everytime I give digital a try again I've always come away disappointed.
