I watch a fair amount of series, but I’m not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn’t make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I’ll go to the theater.

Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.

I don’t have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.

Not on my 65" 8k OLED they aren’t! You can absolutely tell the difference.

Smaller/low res screens though, sure.

That’s what I’m saying; not everyone watches media on their phones. I have a Plex server at home with a projector and a mediocre 5.1 (not a HTIB). No way I’m running anything less than 1080p.

Ha, yeah. I work from home, and when I’m out the last thing I want to do is look at my phone.

So I watch films at home. I paid for a high end home cinema set up, I’m gonna make the most of it. Otherwise it’s just a waste.

This may change as I’m having to downscale a bit for my new apartment…but yeah, 200mb still won’t be enough.
