Not a boomer and have no issues with seeing things at any decent range but there is no difference if you are watching from a proper viewing distance. Of course if you have a huge TV and play DVD on it, then walk up next to it, you’re going to see a less than ideal image. Sit back where you are supposed to be sitting and watch the video in motion (not paused) and tell me you can tell any actual difference.
If you say you can, you’re a liar and brainwashed by this ultramegagigahyperHD Special Edition fake hype. Shameful.
There is definitely a difference between DVD and Bluray, even if you are not that close to the TV. You might be nearsighted? ;) Just kidding, but I can’t imagine how one can’t see a difference there. I do agree that there are diminishing returns with 4K-Blurays though. Since your 4K TV usually upscales the image anyway, it’s really hard to see a difference unless you have a really big TV or watch with a beamer.
I agree. But I will say if the DVD copy doesn’t have HDR and the Blu-ray fits, you will definitely notice that if your TV supports HDR. HDR probably made the biggest difference for me than DVD to Blu-ray ever did.
