I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don’t notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don’t have a screen that can display 4K, I consider it to be one of the biggest disk space wasters.

Am I the only one who has this opinion?

    Spinning metal storage is cheapish now, but now a 4K movie takes up a much larger amount of space.

    If you measure storage by €/1 hour media with 4k HDR vs older prices and 720p, it is likely quite similar.
