The same was true when I was paying for the Netflix 4K programming or rented a movie in 4K, and used a 4K blu-ray player to stream. For regular TV viewing, I use the 1080P setting, because often, the 4K setting does not allow the picture to fill the screen, and it doesn't improve the resolution.
Most people will not see a difference between an early version DVD and a Blu-Ray DVD, although it is there. For the most part, the human eye cannot readily discern the difference between the high resolution TV's. Very few TV's are properly adjusted anyway. Most are tuned to what each owner believes is the best color and brightness. A properly tuned TV needs to be professionally tuned using electronic equipment and getting into the hexa-decimal service adjustments.
