For a long time I have bought the digital versions of movies off of iTunes and have more recently been expanding my physical collection. I’m curious, how big is the difference between the 4K digital version of a movie compared to the actual 4K disc? If I own the 4K digital version of a movie is there any reason to also pick up the disc version?

Disk is always better than digital due to the sheer amount of bitrate. Its a night and day difference.

    What about when the disc is only HDR10 on 66GB disc and digital is Dolby Vision? Like Mad max fury road or many other titles?

    Usually the benefit is more in the audio department. Digital sounds like it’s coming from a tin can once you have heard Blu-ray audio.

    Dolby vision vs HDR10 isnt as major of a difference as many people make it sound. Plenty of incredible movies have HDR10. HDR10 with no compression beats DV with compression any day of the week.
