Yeah streaming is only good for older TV series, like Lost. Anything with HDR just doesn't compare to the 4K blu-ray version, heck blu-ray is already better. Streaming looks good in slow scenes, action scenes are mess from bitrate starvation. Compression artifacts everywhere. |
The hope is AI will make things better but yes, it's definitely more noticeable these days for some reason but it's not bad in some films that rely on visuals and HDR, I was still impressed with Top Gun Maverivk...although, that is basically a drama as to your point. I don't really care for 4K tbh but it has one benefit of making streaming crisper and making the quality loss very easily ignorable, my brain doesn't even pick up on it until very fast moving scenes. But yeah, when the image is moving as fast at every moment and the scene changes are so numerous in Across the Spider verse it the quality loss is so bad it is noticeable even on my phones 6 inch screen which is actually a really impressive little screen, my S24 is 2600 nits with blacks so deep they are unnaturally black and stand out against natural black with the lights off, it's as good as the most ecpensive of TVs... if it wasn't for those damn rounded edges and the hole punch.
I hope the Blu Ray doesn't spoil me but you mentioned people choose streaming over convenience but it's most cost as the biggest reason, Blu Rays are very ecpensive for one film it doesn't as much as a month of Netflix or one month of Apple TV, Prime Video and Disney+ Combined.
