My current opinion on the state of 4K UHD

[LettuceJUMP]

Some may gloss over this post. Some may find it interesting. Either way here I go.

I'm a movie lover and collector. Owned over 1,200 dvd's, jumped on hd-dvd, over 1,000 blu-rays and now 4k uhd's.

I had multiple dlp 80-90" tv's, 75" lcd's and now my LG 65" oled.

I've owned several Oppo dvd and blu-ray players and currently use my xbox one s for uhd's. (I have mixed feelings on the player)

I love 4k. Love the format, the discs, and the streaming on netflix.

I have 70 4k uhd movies in my collection. I bought most of them on ebay for 12-15 each without the other discs or digital copy. I often have company over to watch with me and my wife, but a reoccurring trend is glancing through my collection and not finding anything worthy of viewing.

I do not view the price of the players or price of the discs as the issue so far, but the movies that are being released. It's a catch 22 because big companies don't want to release their films if no one owns the players, but no one buys the players to watch Smurfs 2, Angry Birds, Lucy and Pacific Rim. When you look through what is available to buy it is disappointing. People want one of three things - top imdb film (godfather, goodfellas, lawrence arabia etc,), high grossing big budget films (avengers, avatar, star wars, dark knight), and genre classics that people watch over and over (comedies, romance, action classics - die hard, titanic, when harry met sally etc) my examples might not be the best but you get the idea.

Catalogue releases on this medium will not be as common as blu-ray, because not all transfers will see benefits, depending on how they were filmed and how the original film is stored.

Releases like goodfellas, argo, the town, underworld and great gatsby excite me. I'm hoping this becomes more and more common.

That's my little state of 4k and me story. I love the format. I want more more more. I read most articles on this forum and do not usually comment.
