Its Blu-ray not DVD right? DVD was an impossibly low resolution, that really isn’t fun to watch today.

Blu ray works perfectly on today’s hardware

DVD is perfectly fine resolution, not everyone even has a 4K screen or TV. Most people still have 720x1080 or 1080x1920p screens or TVs. Our tv personally is 720x1080 and it looks just fine.

Distance and size makes the most difference.

If you’re sitting ~7’ back from a 50" TV it really doesn’t matter if it’s 720, 1080, 4k, or 8k.

You have to be right up on it to tell or have a huge screen.

Nicer TVs do have better color and contrast that you can tell from any distance. But generally you have to have something to compare it to for it to really matter. Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.

Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.

But many times they’re encoded dreadfully anyway, and DVDs tend to be better in this respect.

Interlacing is awful though.
