      Going through the list of titles, many of them are unlikely to have been released on a newer format, therefore DVD may be the only way to see these movies.

        CBF'd going through the list of movies I've never heard of but seems like most, if not all of them are.

        • VHS of course for many

    I'm all for physical media, but man, DVD should have been phased out at least 5-10 years ago and made way for Blu-ray as the standard.

    The fact it still surprises people that blu rays have scratch resistance is kinda crazy. Even some of my friends who pirate all their movies thought I was lying when I said most blu-rays (and high quality transfers) are up to 50gb. That's not even touching the 4k format.

    Long story short: 576i, 8gb discs are a hard sell.

  • Bought Snowpiercer dvd for $3 the other day to use up a gift card with another purchase at Jb .
    They have some very cheap prices on old classics on digital versatile discs at jb .

    I remember when dvd’s looked good and I think they have somehow downgraded them to make blue-ray and 4k look better in contrast .

    • No, they've always looked the same. Let's drop the conspiracy nonsense and acknowledge the other factors at play:

      Larger screens stretch the image more which makes pixels softer and larger, therefore less detail

      Movies up until 2017ish were still primarily shot on film. In the lead-up to then, and since then as more and more films were being shot digitally, images started appearing more precise and clear. Film has natural imperfections and is grainier which translates better to lower resolution formats than digital.

      Upscaling. As mentioned before, TVs have gotten bigger, but so has their maximum resolution. 1080p displays (or lesser) didn't have to upscale the source as greatly and had, again, less clear images than modern 4k displays.

      As time has moved on, DVD has become more noticeably bad due to everything else surpassing its capacity.

      Go watch snowpiercer on a Blu-ray player with upscaling capabilities (like a PS3) on a 1080p display of less than 50 inches and it will look great. Watch it on a TV that only has a max resolution of 576i and it may look even better as you adapt to the older technology's capacities.
