A couple years on, my expectations have adjusted and older shows not shot in HD just look ... old. I suspect the same will happen when things move to 4K, if that happens before I die. -- Drew

We pretty much only use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, with a smattering of BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub (the latter of which is shite, irrespective of platform) via the XBox One X, and 4K content abounds. On the computer? Running my Windows desktop at 225% scaling produces a deliciously crisp display and I'm never going back! You can't make me!
