Which is why we now have Ultra-HD Blu-ray. An UltraHD picture with HDR on a disc. Also supports Dolby Atmos
There's certainly a place for streaming but currently even "4k" netflix is barely Blu-ray quality and for that you need a TV with built-in Netflix App. For picture quality Ultra-HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray are the only format worth bothering with. Netflix is nice but there's honestly a lot of crap on there. If I want to watch a certain film there's a chance that it's not on netflix and there's no guarentee that a film will be on Netflix forever, with physical media you know you'll have it forever.

MKV is NOT a compression format, MKV is a container.

Blue Valentine at £1 is worth a watch; great film although not the most lighthearted....
In more 'recent' news, Poundland sell chocolate for £1

I love this please do some research first and then gets it wrong! Blu ray is currently 50GB with 25GB per layer. Current format only allows 2160p but there are Quad Layers coming with 128GB (just about hitting the market now), called Blur Ray XL.
Compression formats such as MKV are lossless, and many people are now ripping their collection onto HDD and then selling their discs on Ebay. The issue being the physical size of a large disc collection, and the ease of locating media from a menu as opposed to a library.
