10TB was pocket change not too long ago, now it's so expensive. Unreal.
I'm lucky because my TV is 1080p so i can download lower resolution movies and series.
Even with a 4k TV, 1080p is fine. Most TVs these days will upscale 1080p and 480p content, and even if not, 4k is an exact integer scale of 1080p (3840x2160 is 2x 1920x1080).
4k content is a bit sharper, but I can barely notice the difference, in games or video content at TV viewing distance.
Yeah, personally, I've noticed that I notice and appreciate very high quality streams when they are there but don't notice lower quality ones in a bad way (where "lower quality" is still like 1080p, 720p is more noticeable).
Like 4k looks great but 1080p still looks normal.
Yup, I only keep 4k of stuff that was really shot/scanned in 4k and absolutely worth it. 90% of the 4k content out there is 1080p upscaled anyway.
