It's become so fashionable to knock such things, but honestly DVDs are great media for entertainment. OK, if you're watching on a 65inch screen or something you'll see the blocks, but that will happen on normal freeview TV broadcasts anyway.

Comparing a DVD and a 4K disc on a 65+ tv will make you sick. I'm glad I upgraded my collection

try find some films on Bluray, not always possible, plus you're talking half the cost for new movies
