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?

    I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

    720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.
