The excorcist if I remember was shot in 35mm film so 4k would benefit it in a way only technology can provide.
With 4k tvs hitting the homes this year and mid next year and becoming mainstream around 2013-2014, I don't see 1080p going for a while.
as i am only into collecting horror movies especially old ones would 4k benfet any of them also would it be on a blu ray type disk?

Bluray at the moment for consumer has a storage space of 128gb. Sony will be releasing a 500gb in 2012 so yes, bluray is here to stay for a while, it will just get bigger and bigger. And no, I don't say what about hologram disks, they rant for distribution media. Soon, films will be over the air and no longer be physical media.

Does anyone leave their Blu-rays sealed?


More concisely... does anyone buy Blu-rays solely as physical decorative pieces for their living environment?
