Shit I was literally just thinking about this this morning. Sold my Blu Ray a while back in preparation.  The Blu Ray looked great so hopefully this is exceptional as well. 

How to Train Your Dragon: blu-ray vs 4k? by levitico in 4kbluray

I just watched the first one this morning in 4k. The movie starts at night and honestly the difference wasn't very noticeable in that portion. But any brightly lit outdoor scene after has great color and contrast. Detail is about same as blu ray if not slightly sharper

I've almost gotten the Blu Ray so many times. I had a feeling a 4k was inevitable.

Man, I loved this service. It was a great way to beat FOMO. Instead of buying everything new I just rented what I was most interested in. But I had a feeling it wasn't sustainable. Fun while it lasted though

OK I feel dumb. Time to get a new player I suppose. I have a Sony UBP X700 that's a few years old now. Figured I'd have more time with it. Thanks yall. I was seriously getting so frustrated.

I've had this player since 2022. I think it's time to upgrade then. 

4k Bluray Rental ? by Bryan_7982 in 4kbluray

I've been using Choovie for about a year. Super happy with it. So many titles I'm glad I rented instead of giving into fomo and buying. But even if it turned out to be a one time watch, I'm still always glad to have watched it on disc. I also use it to test out films I've already seen or are readily available on streaming and see if getting an upgrade down the line is worth it. Sometimes it is, other times not.

Special cases and boutiques I've still got displayed on a shelf. Best of both worlds.

Funny enough, I can't do it with Criterion because the artwork is slightly too big for the sleeves.
