Eventually, you get to the point where something is good enough. When Blu-ray came out, I upgraded a fair number of my favorite movies to Blu-ray. I upgraded my TV to 4K a month or so ago. The picture quality is amazing, but I really can't tell much of a difference between 4K streaming movies and HD streaming movies. I'm probably not going to replace any of my Blu-Ray movies with 4K versions.
I agree that you get to the point where things are good enough. In general, I prefer old movies to current ones. Because of that' I'm not in a hurry to upgrade my TV to a 4K one.

I do understand that the picture quality is better, but I will admit I had a hard time when I first started seeing things on Blu-ray. Old movies looked too sharp. Like they were shot on video. Bladerunner was a sight to behold though.
