No 4k TV either. I don't really see the point.
Well, 4k is a great technology for gaming and cinema, highly recommended if you have the space.
I'm with them; my 1080p TV still gets the job done and looks great to me. Maybe I'd be more invested in cinema if cinema cared more about what I want. I can't even walk into brick and mortar and buy a movie anymore, and it's not like there's a GOG for movies.
There's a time and place for 4k. It is not all the time. But some things are treats with high resolution and pixels-per-fov of your vision. Also oled looks so, so good.
That being said, 1080p for older stuff looks perfectly fine, and I'd argue audio quality, audio stereo image, and accurate frequency spectrum resolution is game changing, and arguably more important.
RE: gog for movies: that is a fascinating idea. What would that look like, to you? I'm very curious.
I just need to be able to buy and download DRM-free movies. Outside of that, I don't care what it looks like. Movie studios put so much DRM on my Blu Rays that they're a pain to rip (but notably, not impossible to rip), and "digital copies" of movies are just long term rentals. Meanwhile the movie industry is on fire while their old revenue streams dry up, and they're scratching their heads as to where they went wrong.
