4K Streaming vs 4K Blu-ray in 2025 — Can You Still See the Difference?

Streaming movies in 4K HDR has gotten insanely good — but can it actually compete with a physical 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc in 2025? In this video, I compare both formats for an overall viewing experience. Whether you’re a physical media collector or someone who loves the convenience of Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, etc — this video will give you a clear look at how close streaming has gotten to the “reference quality” of physical discs… and whether physical media still matters.
