I'd say regular blu-rays are still relevant even. The jump in quality between regular blu rays to 4k ones just doesn't seem as substantial as the jump did between dvd and blu ray. or vhs and dvd. But maybe that is just my aging eyeballs that can barely tell the difference with this latest jump.

IMO, HDR makes a bigger difference than 1080 vs 4K.

I preach this to everyone. 4k doesn’t matter. HDR does. I haven’t seen any DV yet as I don’t have a DV tv

The picture quality isn't as noticeable to me as the additional HDR and spatial sound that tends to be included. Even with that, any Blu-ray is significantly better than streaming.
