      I mean, if your monitor or TV is 1080p, why should you waste so much more storage to little-to-no visible improvement?

        This is an issue of the past for me since I started using Real Debrid with Kodi and Stremio.

        I have a good backup amount in 1080p in Plex (physical and debrid symlinks), but when I want to experience 4K films properly I head up to Stremio or Kodi.

      Yeah, that’s, like, incredibly wasteful. 720p is fine. Where are the 540p ripcorders at?

      You’re not going to like this, but I have been encoding my own B-tier collection in 1080p at roughly BluRay quality with HDR & Uncompressed audio. A-Tier movies stay 4K Remux, but the B-squad gets the downgrade (but I’m not willing to give up HDR / Atmos)

        Yeah, usually you don’t really notice a huge difference betwen FHD and 4K, especially with TV upscaling it anyway

        I love that we can reencoding the 4k HDR to 1080 while we retain the HDR color information. Looks great to me while saving a ton of space.
