the 4k video section at my local target and walmart are both about 5 titles wide, and 10 titles tall. they're never sold out of any 4k movie releases. the 'hd' bluray section is about 4-5 times larger for just new releases, and routinely sold out. personally, i haven't done anything about going above bluray/hd quality. i go out of my way to attempt to always buy the dvd/bluray combo titles. because i've never had a problem playing a dvd anywhere, but not all blurays play everywhere...

The best thing about it, though, is that it's a "dumb" tv. 1080p, no web connection or apps. So no bloat. Can just bring my own system for that stuff. I'll probably upgrade to a 4k hdr tv though, whenever I move next year.

I have a 'smart tv', and most of the time I prefer to use the pc with it. The controls are more intuitive. And the pc has ad blocker.

I originally thought the same way about smart tvs, but 1, I had to either use the tv mount the previous owners left me or fill the holes in the wall above the fireplace, and 2, most nicer/larger tvs nowadays are "smart" TVs and 3, I figured I would give it a shot since I was going the 'stream everything' route. I got a TCL running Roku. I can say it's UI is better than a fire stick at least, which is what I have set up with my old TV. |

Imaging having a stereo instead of a TV as the primary source of entertainment in a living room, and actually listening to albums from start to finish. So much more engaging and satisfying, imo.
