And now we’re at 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, which gives you 3840x2160.Īnd yet a fun trick of 4K is that you’re not really paying for the resolution. Blu-ray was the next jump forward with 1920x1080, more than doubling the resolution you get on a DVD. Then came DVDs, which were much better for collectors since they could contain not only special features, but had an improved picture quality of 720x480 pixels. In the beginning, there was VHS, which messed with aspect ratios (known as “fullscreen” or “pan-and-scan”) and had a resolution of 333x480 pixels. After all, when streaming services are offering 4K streams of movies, why would you need to purchase the 4K copy on top of your subscription? Also, there’s the added expense of buying a 4K player on top of your 4K TV, so is it really worth it for a slightly nicer picture?īefore we get into all of that, let’s break down a little terminology and explain what 4K Blu-ray even is. 4K Blu-rays have been on the market for the past several years now, but as users primarily move to streaming, 4Ks seem more like a curiosity for the hardcore collector.
