Yeah, I became such a spoiled elitist. In the rare event where I download what I think is a 1080p BluRay and the file is actually an Xvid rip or CAM I absolutely flip my shit and freak out. It doesn't happen often when you download from reputable sources, but it happens every now and again. ;D

Can't stand watching CAM recordings and shitty DVD rips. Is this not 2014? Do we not have running water? Should we just start drinking out of the toilet and smearing our shit all over the place!? Maybe I'm a little dramatic.... lol

I used to be fine with Xvids even CAM if it's a good copy but the last few years it's either BluRay or nothing. I'm about to buy a Sony 55' but for a while yesterday seriously considered buying a 4k TV. Just not in the mood to pay for their R&D costs.

Precisely. No 1080p, no care. The last CAM I watched was The Hobbit 2 because it was just going to be streamed to my tablet. Had a new baby so going to the theatres is kind of out of the question for a movie that long. Before that, I can't remember the last CAM I bothered with.

Still waiting for some more price drops before I go to 4K. They sure are pretty but I don't think it's quite essential at this time.

The thing with 4k is that you need to be pretty much sitting nose-length (not that close, but close) to the screen to see a difference over 1080p. Even 55' you would need to be sitting 3ft away to notice a definitive difference. Which is why the ones you would've seen in shops are the 102' sizes

From Sony themselves;

'The short answer is that between 5 and 6 ft. is the ideal viewing distance for a 55” or 65” Sony 4K Ultra HD TV. However, on a 55“, you can now sit as close as 3.6 ft and enjoy a visibly smoother and more detailed picture (e.g you won’t see the individual pixels). On a 65“ TV, you can sit as close as 4.2 ft. to appreciate 4K'

So I'm not too sure how 4k will turn out. And I saw at CES that Samsung rolled up with an 8k TV.

Torrent movies/shows in 720p/1080p, put them on my external USB drive, hook it up to my TV, and enjoy it on there.

I buy a lot of Blu-ray's. They're dirt cheap at Walmart, usually $7 or less. For crap movies I DL on PB, though.
