When it comes to picture and sound quality, even the best streaming lags behind physical media

Let's start with the most essential element of the home viewing experience: the picture and sound quality. Blu-Ray and DVD players, aren't held back by internet connections and underpowered home WiFi networks, is clearly preferable in most circumstances even when viewing the highest-quality streaming content on the newest televisions.

Streaming services, while convenient, can't handle the latest and greatest in surround sound technology the rich and detailed seven-speaker sound produced by the Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio standards that have been around on conventional Blu-rays for years. With the right setup, these audio formats can make big action scenes incredibly dynamic: The engine noise in Mad Max: Fury Road becomes a guttural roar; the gunshots in Saving Private Ryan almost seem to pierce your living room walls!

There are other reasons to prefer physical media to streaming services beyond the technical aspects. Blu-Rays and DVDs often come packed with extras, from commentary tracks to behind-the-scenes featurettes, that can help you understand the filmmakers and the film making process.

Streaming may be cheaper and more convenient, but physical media offers the equivalent of a premium, personalized experience and it's one that's worth preserving.

I just wanted to let you all know that I had a perfect buying experience with your company. I ordered something and received it the following morning, which is practically unheard of in the e-commerce world. The email updates were all extremely helpful as well. Thank you for all your help and I will be purchasing again soon! Dani
