Bluray a go-go?

The AV market is more complicated than pure audio.

I'm grateful that I've always been into A rather than V.

My whole point was that it wasn’t an “either/or”. I actually said “each to their own”.

Can’t speak to other markets but my 4K BD player is a Sony - not exactly an esoteric brand. I’d accept few manufacturers are making them, doubtless bcs peeps are increasingly opting for the convenience of streaming.

But I monitor UK activity on the affordable end of Sony and Panasonic players and can say there’s still healthy interest in both players and discs. I buy bargains, “Spring deals” etc. it’s rare I’ll pay more than £20ish for new, less for the “watched once” titles.

I wouldn’t dream of saying my way is the only way 🤷🏼

My Sony UBP X700 UHD player (for the price/performance package, reasonably well rated on WHF) is on Amazon UK new at £229.

I can spend getting on for that on wine every month.

Richard Attenborough's BBC discs on 1080p Blu-ray, though they were shot in 4K. And the picture was STUNNING. STUNNING.

I fear you might have the wrong Attenborough there!

Our modest Sony BDP-S580 has been plenty satisfactory for a long time now. Only blu-ray (and SACD), but sufficiently "stunning" for us at least until 4K becomes at least as available.
