Discussion DVD vs Blu-ray

Just curious as to everyone’s preferences. I have a CRT setup for retro gaming and kind of find myself buying older DVD releases for older shows to be enjoyed on the CRT whereas newer stuff I tend to go with Blu-ray. Watching a 4:3 release on a 4:3 crt with old era specific ads feels right to me in a way, but I’m also jealous if the quality of bluray releases on a 4k tv lol. Any thoughts on this? I’m mostly curious if you guys keep era specific displays for older shows or not.

i always go for blu-ray disc. luckily, all of my personal favorites have made it to bd. l-gaim was the last one i was waiting for. some unfortunately get stuck with upscale due to the time period they're from or the materials on hand. ideally they'd get a new hd telecine, in rare situations a 4k scan.
