What "K" will you draw the line at?

4K displays, and presumably 8K displays- I've yet to see one, work wonders with our existing physical media. Streaming is not so bad on them, either, but I will always much prefer my discs.

Online streaming may be a future, but it is not the only future. I personally will never subscribe to the "what's the use" attitude. I believe that physical media will continue as there are enough of us that care about the best in quality to sustain the market for it. I don't care how niche it may become, so long as it remains. Even if I am guilty of wishful thinking, I prefer that over being fearful or resigned about the future.

I still buy CDs in 2019 and for how many years have I been told that they were a lost cause? The Chicken Littles of the world have been crying "the sky is falling!" forever, but last I looked the firmament is firmly above us.
