I just bought a new TV too so I definitely have no desire to upgrade anytime soon.

I do read a lot of posts from members though along the lines of no UHD no sale. That's how I get my impression that people think blu ray is no good anymore.
Yeah and that's not a philosophy I agree with. Frankly UHD is never gonna be a format that we should assume every movie is due for release on. Obviously it's disappointing when some genuinely excellent and visually incredible movies don't get UHDs (looking at you, Nocturnal Animals and Moonlight), but then again there's a good argument to make that there wouldn't be much of a market for those on UHD anyway. I still bought both those BDs lol, at the end of the day they're excellent movies and BD is still a damn fine way to watch them. (And on the off chance they do get UHDs down the road, I'll upgrade them.)

People who say "no UHD, no sale" for Disney titles have a point, though.
