      As stated in previous threads, there are lots of reasons why DVDs are still popular today:

      • Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs’ subpar video/audio quality.
      • For most people, DVDs “just work”.
      • Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
      • Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
      • People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.
      • DVDs are cheaper and more ubiquitous than Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs.

        I think for a lot of people, DVDs hit the spot in the same way CDs did: Quality that was good enough to never think about again.

        Glossing over how CDs are at the limit of human hearing, and DVD isn’t close to the limit of vision, imagine the average person with a £300 TV across the room, using TV speakers, and maybe not wearing their glasses.
        For them there isn’t that much difference getting a BD/UHD, other than occasionally noticing the 25/24hz speed up.

        The cost was why I didn’t bother. The extra quality didn’t justify the fact the charge was often 30-50% higher.

        No thanks.

        Economies of scale should have dropped the price down quicker.

      I still pretty much exclusively buy DVDs. Most of the time the increased resolution doesn’t add anything to the movie so I’d rather get whatever is cheapest.

      The are some movies, like Fury Road, where the cinematics really shine and the better picture quality makes a big difference.
