Sure! If you have a 100 inch screen in your house. šŸ˜›

Iā€™m surprised to read a dismissive comment about 4K on this site. I thought OT forum was very much built around wanting the very best ā€˜technicalā€™ presentation of Star Wars, from sound, to accurate colour representation, to resolution - arenā€™t these technical aspects fundamental to Originaltrilogy.com? Or do forum members actually not care that much?

I care, but 4K for home use is primarily a scheme to get me to buy a new 4K tv, a new 4K player, a new 4K ready receiver, etc. Half of whatā€™s on the format is simply upscaled from 2K. Pixar doesnā€™t even render their films at 4K.

And donā€™t even get me started on 30 year old movies with questionable Atmos remixes and no original mix option in sight. Iā€™m not about to drill holes in the ceiling of a 40 year old house to put Atmos speakers above me, either.
The displays Iā€™ve seen in stores look very nice, but they just donā€™t look like film to me. I imagine a lot of crap in the tv has to be switched off to get a film like image though.

When a restored non buggered OOT is on 4k, wake me. 2001 and The Shining might get me to budge as well. I am getting a bit long in the tooth to consider rebuying all my favorite movies again on a for a third time.
Thankfully, Iā€™ll probably be too old to care when 8K comes along. šŸ˜‰
