To be fair, DVDs look terrible on what's a normal sized screen these days 😉

Maybe some libraries offer blurays although I have no device to play them, and they tend to be infested with DRM.

I've yet to encounter a good upscaler but I'm glad you're happy with your setup!

i dunno, I have one of those super high end TVs, so that probably helps a lot too. It handles a lot of content very well. when shopping i did pick a model that was rated well for handing lower res content. some high res dispalys are awful at it

I've got a fairly nice 65" Dolby Vision/HDR10/etc. set with a decent NITS rating. I reckon your scaler is the defining difference. I think I was playing it through an Xbox One X and the results were hideous.

Yeah, I refuse to watch the DVDs I own anymore. I will download a higher quality version instead.

I put in my copy of The Hogfather a few years back and took it straight back out. I should probably check if there's a better quality release available although I can't imagine they did the effects for anything above 1080p.
