Is 4K Blu-ray Worth It?
161Our March 4K and Blu-ray podcast continues our new format of providing a Top 10 list of recommended discs for March and then a deep dive into a single topic - this month, in a parallel to last month’s movie’s discussion on how we consume our movies, we’re looking at the value of 4K, and where we draw the line, can we stomach just watching some on Blu-ray or even Digital, do we have to have the latest box sets, and would we ever double dip in 4K?
Presented by Cas Harlow with Tom Davies, Simon Crust and Mark Costello.
