With the introduction of Blu-ray in 2006, home video began to take a giant leap forward in quality thanks to HD pictures with brighter colors and better sharpness than we’d seen at home before. Now, with 4K TVs becoming more accessible and affordable, 4K Blu-rays, introduced in 2016, give crisp picture quality for people at home with the right equipment.
The best TVs nowadays are all pretty much 4K compatible. No matter whether they are a budget set, such as the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED, or premium, such as the LG G3, which means anyone with a 4K TV and one of the best 4K Blu-ray players (that start from as little as $100/£100/$AU299) can watch 4K Blu-rays. One slight problem: they are pricier than standard Blu-ray. They tend to average around $25/£25/AU$39, which for a single movie can be quite expensive for casual viewers.
