A new TV offers the possibility to watch 4k movies to me. I am thinking about upgrading my library but I’m not sure if I want to replace my 1080 collection.
I’ve read that some use a separate 4k library.
Do you? How do you deal with it? I mostly add movies with trakt and radarr automatically. Do you use separate accounts?
It’s just the way I prefer it. I prefer paying for a copy if I can and downloading a copy when I can’t. I get the appeal, but if there’s a way to show companies I prefer a tangible copy over paying monthly/perpetual license I prefer going that route.
I’m not above downloading a copy if they don’t sell a copy if you get where I’m coming from. I consider it sort of abandoned at that point, even if it’s on a streaming service.
I get you. I do something similar. I love physical discs and have a healthy blu ray collection. I tend to buy older or more obscure cult movies that I’m worried may not be readily available on streaming. But I avoid DVDs specifically because of the low resolution. For some movies it just can’t be helped. Very obscure content may even only be available on VHS transfers and I’ll watch those if I’m really interested in the movie or show.
