Disc market share for week ending in 2024-01-13: "Oppenheimer" continues to dominate the #1 spot. DVD, as usual, takes up over half the market share, leaving Blu-ray and UHD in the dust. (lemmy.ml)

Who the hell buys DVDs? Pretty much everybody has a 4k TV these days where DVDs look like shit. And Blu-ray players are dirt cheap too. I don't get it.

What’s that UHD category? HD DVD died right, that’s not Blu-ray nor HD DVD?

"4K Ultra HD Blu-ray" is the latest home video format introduced in 2016. It is still a Blu-ray disc, but it uses a different video codec, is in 2160p and utilizes HDR.

To watch 4K UHD movies, you need a 4K TV/projector with support for HDR, a 4K UHD player (although the PS5 and Xbox Series X support 4K UHD playback), and a high-end surround sound system, preferrably one that supports Dolby Atmos.
