I&#8217;m too much of a picture quality snob, and they just don&#8217;t hold up on a large screen. In order to put some of my unwatched discs to use, I sometimes force myself to watch them on a computer or portable device.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember the last time I bought a new DVD. Whenever that was, it was certainly something not available on Blu-ray and unlikely to benefit from high definition (like an old TV show that was photographed on standard-def video). I couldn&#8217;t justify it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>What about you?
