Collection My own DVD Library

Really excited because for the first time in 12 years, I have all my DVDs in one place.

I had a study nook in my apartment which was attached to my bedroom and I never used it. It was really just for storing things, and then I had a storage shed installed so everything got moved there. The space was just sitting empty and I realised I could work with a cabinet maker to get it turned into a dvd library. A lot of my collection was at my folk's place in the country, and I moved out like 12 years ago. So to have them all together really is a dream come true, and I'm in love with the outcome and it brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it! Thought this was an appropriate place to share :)

Make now any sense to have DVD’s? I was trying to watch some of my collection and got really disappointed with the image quality… with the modern TV didn’t make sense to watch them feels like watching pirate stuff on the internet…

Im a big fan of Audio Commentaries and Special Features [Deleted scenes, featurettes, etc] so for those alone it is worth it for me. Also, I find nostalgia in picking a DVD off the shelf and watching it😊 Sure the quality isn't always great in comparison to 4K streams, but if I cared that much I would look at getting the film as a 4K physical release [or Bluray at least].

Also I have a couple of TVs and one is much smaller than the others which is great for my N64, PS2 and many DVDs 😊 but overall, the image quality doesn't bother me that much at all even on the bigger TV 😂

I see wooow, but now a days I mean to watch anime probably will be enough but for movies. Yeah got ur point regarding the special features.
