😂 I actually haven't seen 2 or 3 but want the set to watch just once. Maybe I can just buy 1 and have someone lend me a MA screen pass. Anyone want to trade screen passes?

Digital has the capability to look and sound just as good as Blu-ray, but it won't for a while. Reason? Bandwidth. A competent UHD 4k blu-ray rip, encoded with a modern codec, averages 50-60 gigs, streaming something like that is currently prohibitively expensive for the provider on the large scale, and considering Comcast, the only ISP in town for most people, has a 1.2tb monthly limit, the vast majority of people aren't going to be able to view streaming digital purchases on the same level as physical media for a while.
For comparison, UHD blu-ray streams an average of 80Mbps to 144Mbps. Vudu's 4k tops out at 11Mbps, Netflix at 15Mbps, Fandango at 10-20Mbps, Google Play at 12-15Mbps, and Apple TV at 25Mbps.
New codecs make it easier to compress without issues, but as the signal becomes more complex, it's harder and harder to encode equivalent to UHD. Grainy movies shot on film or older movies are harder to encode than new animation. Dark scenes will almost ALWAYS betray bitrates on streaming services.
"Looks good enough to me" isn't valid data. Nor does it address the fact that if your digital platform of choice ever goes out of business, or if they decide to change their contract with the user, you're SOL and your collection disappears.

I mean, Google has axed more services than most companies have started. As someone who has been in the Google ecosystem since 2004 and is currently migrating to the very inferior "Youtube Music" from "Google Play Music", I'm experiencing this firsthand. You can no longer purchase music on the new platform, but luckily, DRM-free downloads are built into the platform, so it's not a loss.
Look, I'm a huge proponent of digital sales. I've got over 2000 games in Steam and at least a few movies on each one of those services, but I'm not going to pretend there's no chance any of these services go away. Corporations are fickle beasts. If something becomes not profitable, it'll go, regardless of your opinions on it,
That said, I care far more about the fidelity gap than I worry about losing access to my movies.
A UHD bluray is much higher bitrate than a UHD stream, but requires a quite expensive setup to really see the benefits and is starting to hit the point of diminishing returns. Still, if you have the setup, it could be worth buying instead of digital.

UHD blu ray have HDR, it's not a digital exclusive thing! I just watched Parasite with HDR, actually!
Honestly, the biggest differences in quality can be seen in darker scenes - even on Netflix, which is pretty decent (and actually higher bitrate than VUDU 4k), you can see blocking in shadows on even a lower-range 4K tv.
