    Blu-rays are great, DVDs not so much unless it’s an old title that was never released in 1080p

      DVDs are fine, but the subtitles look god-awful - and they’re bitmaps so there is no easy way to make them not suck

      even then, many bluerays are just cheap upscales with no other changes. I made that mistake once with a boxset only to find that it was a very obvious DVD
