It’s because for the Average Joe, having a TV box at the end of your driveway that has the latest big number on it is important. It’s how they gain their identity. Do not upset them for obvious reasons.
Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

For what content? Video gaming (GPUs) has barely gotten to 4k. Movies? 4k streaming is a joke; better off with 1080 BD. If you care about quality go physical… UHD BD is hard to find and you have to wait and hunt to get them at reasonable prices… And these days there are only a couple UHD BD Player mfg left.

It’s such a shame that UHD isn’t easier to find. Even the ones you can find are poorly mastered half the time. But a good UHD on an OLED is chef’s kiss just about the closest you can get to having a 35mm reel/projector at home.
You are absolutely on point with 4k streaming being a joke. Most 4k streams are 8-20 Mbps. A UHD runs at 128 Mbps.

That’s the dumbest part of it all is that pirates seriously get the best movie/TV experience of anyone. I mean, maybe if you spend a shitton on DVD and BluRays to rip you can match that experience, but even that can be legally dubious depending on the jurisdiction

Those rips are still coming from physical. If those go extinct too, bye bye BD Rips…

Is there a player other than the shield that can play them and be simple? Roku Ultra can’t handle most 4k HQ streams .
