Honestly I don't see a difference in 4k/1080p with streamed media. Physical media on the other hand is night and day.
It can be about the compression. I know I had downloaded like 4 versions of Your Name because it has been re-encoded by several different groups and sometimes higher resolution with more compression was far worse to look at than lower resolution with good bit rate.
Some people have a magic touch and they just make incredible files and I so want their settings for handbrake when I rip my own media.
Great info. Unfortunately for me, this requires more energy than I've got laying around.
