Hi,
First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct forum.
This is really a generic question, something I've been wondering about for a while. Only recently, I've finally upgraded some of my equipment, mainly the projector and AV receiver (all equipment in my signature) to 4K.
I own quite a few old blu-rays. Which 4K technology has rendered kind of obsolete. Exactly the same as what happened with old DVDs when blu-ray arrived.
I'm just wondering if it's worth it buying a 4K blu-ray player, and then investing in discs, if all of it will become obsolete again, in 2-3-4-whatever years, when 8K goes mainstream...?
I know everyone says only physical media can give top class 4K performance (vs streamed 4K content, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc, which I have), but still... It's such a PITA having to switch equipment and discs every 4-5 years, not to mention the cost.
What do you guys think?
Thanks.
