Being brought up on VHS i still find DVDs look good to me a lot of the time.

I've got a 4k tv recently and had to adjust all the settings to actually make the films look right to me, as the motion tracking (?) and whatever was making films look too new and kinda jerky as if shot on digital.

On my freeview box i've got access to a few HD channels but often can't be arsed and watch the SD one anyway.

So what do i know, i'm not bothered about 4k discs at all.

I'm getting old and my eyesight is slowly getting shitter anyway.

I do notice the difference a lot on games on my PS4 though using the new tv.

I bet you've got a few films on Blu ray though to have a butchers at Dem so that should keep you occupied for a while.

And also you are now open to looking for non uk Blu only releases, so it's all good.
Yes, i too was brought up on vhs so also still think dvd's look great most of the time (Scott's Black Rain is a pile of shite though)

Also to answer the final bit, yes, 130-150 films already on blu but none you'd call 'testers' really as most are sixties and seventies rather than bang up to date movies that will test the sound also. I did give SPECTRE a go last night but that's crap as it's all muted colours and frankly boring as hell.
