For a long time I have bought the digital versions of movies off of iTunes and have more recently been expanding my physical collection. I’m curious, how big is the difference between the 4K digital version of a movie compared to the actual 4K disc? If I own the 4K digital version of a movie is there any reason to also pick up the disc version?
The problem with 4K digital is the bitrate varies from title to title and from service to service. The audio is better on the disk if you have an audio system that can take advantage of it.
Movies Anywhere tends to be the best service to stream 4K followed by Apple they tend to be above 20 Mbps on their 4K movie streams.
I tend to buy the disk and redeem the digital code, I use the digital version when I’m not in one of my main viewing setups.
