Yea, generally you need to be above about 50"-55" to see a difference with 4K and above 32"-36" to see difference between 720p and 1080p. DVD is a little easier, since it is 480p .. unless you have a great upscaling circuit.I can really notice oa difference between DVD and blue ray on my 65 inch 4k ultra HD curved screen, on the the older tv's I have it's much less noticable
yea we just had TDS put in a fiberville system in out town, fiber optic to the house, stunning picture and awesome internet, not that many channels actually broadcast in true hdYea, generally you need to be above about 50"-55" to see a difference with 4K and above 32"-36" to see difference between 720p and 1080p.

I do wish my cable company had a great HD .. Comcast around here doesn't. Some of the "HD" channels are 1080i (interlaced) but most are at 720p upscaled.
Should've kept the DVDs. They can watch them in the car, or anywhere, using one of many cheap portable DVD players (no data usage or fees.)For years I was buying every Disney DVD that came out in preparation for a grandchild. Then when the Blu Ray version came out, I bought that and donated the older one to my local library.
Fast forward to September 2019...grandson Wesley arrives as does Disney+....arghhh....

If they're still around the dual VCR and DVD recorder/player units are a quick way to do this. You get an instant unattended DVD copy which you can later rip to your PC at a convenient time. I had access to one while working at a campus media service - and it was quick and easy to dupe family VHS tapes to something you could later rip to a file.I still have a VCR in the house and a bunch of old videos that I am not about to get rid of. I really should digitize them but that involves actually hooking up the video player into something. Some of the videos include family that are no longer around though so maybe I should just bite the bullet and get this done before the media or player rot beyond all help.
Actually, my Panasonic unit has a SD card slot as well as DVD recorder, so I have that option if I stay under 2Gb.If they're still around the dual VCR and DVD recorder/player units are a quick way to do this.

I just want to run through the myriad of videotapes we took of the kids over the first 20 years (VHS, 8mm, MiniDV) and get them on a playable format so we can play them for their kids and taunt them ..
