Final comments

DVD at 480p can look old and outdated. Many streaming services have better quality visuals than physical DVDs can provide. So depending upon how much that matters to you, you might find that re-buying your favourite films and shows digitally might not worth the cost. Streaming vs DVD discs, which do you prefer?
