3·2 hours agoMany people are lamenting the apparent slow demise of Blu-ray. The image quality these players offer is much higher than that of streaming, featuring a bitrate that can go up to 128 Mbps in the case of 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. Most streaming services are somewhere between 15 Mbps and 25 Mbps.
tbf that’s just a setting/feature of streaming services, they are capable of uping the quality to match that of Bluray they just feel the demand isn’t there which means there’s a gap in the market
In Australia we now have 500mbit plans for under $100 a month, so it’s definitely capable of going up to 4k blu-ray quality
Also 8k TV’s are on the way out as well, it just looks like people are happy with the quality of video these days
For me it depends, I use Ecosia for example and want to see ads because it means they get monies which means I keep getting a free search product and also with the money they use it to plant trees
but other times some websites take it too far and make it impossible to see the content so then I block ads
you just reminded me why i stopped using the bom app, it has a giant storm look while outside its bright and sunny with a little bit of cloud

Yeah exactly, same situation in Australia with OTA
I understand there’s some issue with radio frequencies and they think it’s better to have like 10 channels playing garbage at 720p rather than 1 channel at 4k but even on https://www.9now.com.au/ the quality is garbage AND the player is awful as well, I just don’t understand how we’re like 20 years into video streaming and the regular players still suck so bad at it
