I’ve been on a LOTR binge lately, reading the books and making my way through the movies. I have them on disc and have been watching them that way but sometimes I’ll load up Netflix to watch certain scenes. And the difference is just striking.

When I watch on Blu-ray the image is razor sharp, colors are amazing, detail audio just everything is as good as it gets. Like it was filmed this year.
But the stream is just holllly cow crap. Colors are washed out, picture fuzzy, it even makes the CGI look worse.

Usually streaming gets pretty close but for some reason lotr is the perfect example of the disparity between the two and the reason for getting the disc.
