Reply to comment by zerpified in Blu-ray player gathering dust? Turn it into a laser-scanning microscope | Not as powerful as a commerical one, but thousands cheaper. by chrisdh79

But i feel it difficult to find new movies that have added value to watch in 4K atmos nowadays...or is it me? Appart from the marvels/hobbit and 90's blockbusters...it feels like a waste of money. Edit: of course add alien, nolans or the thing

I mean, that's absolutely a valid opinion, but to me there is a ton of value in it. Some of my favorite 4ks are older movies, like Blade Runner, others are modern action flicks like John Wick that benefit from the wider color pallet of HDR. I'd say, for me, 9 out of 10 times a 4k disc is a notably better experience than streaming the same movie. Plus I just appreciate actually owning the movie. Its always a bummer when I want to watch a comfort movie that I thought was on Netflix, onky to find out that its gone. But that said, if it's not worth it to you, that's cool, I understand it doesn't matter to everyone. I just find it sad that it's becoming difficult to find physical versions of some movies.

Forgot to add, i try to get only 4k BR with actual 4K scans, which is far from 100%. Sadly, we cannot get all the movies when you see the BR prices.
