Most people would not be able to discern the difference between the top 2 images. Chroma subsampling? Aliasing? Bitrate? These are words that we understand but your average TV watcher has never heard uttered.

I hate that i have to agree with you.

Last time my wife was watching a movie. It was a local file, and when i walked by, i saw that it was at max 720p and a bit choppy. I remarked that she should tell me which movie it was so i can replace it.

She asked “why would you?” - and i know that her eyes are in perfect shape. She simply does not recognize it when a video plays at crap quality, and she would have to search hard in the above pictures, while i saw the difference in an instant.

She hates ads just like me tho, so a pirates life it is for her :-)

You don’t need to be an expert to say “that’s blurry and looks like shit in comparison”.

Even understanding all this, a 2 hour movie in a 2.5gb hevc file is still a very tempting thing. Every movie I could ever want, at acceptable quality, all in under 8tb of space is really amazing.
