As other people said, HDR is the big one.

I'll say, picture and sound are better. Especially if you upgrade to a decent home theater set up.

Subjective but I think it's true: I specifically also target "dark" movies for buying. Think Venom, The Batman. No matter the bandwidth on streaming, where there is less information/data (blacks or dimmly lit scenes) the compression/decompression of the stream to screen loses noticable quality. Think Game Of Thrones... Yeah that episode. I rewatch that on 4K physical. So much better.

Lastly, I also target my personal favorites. I think Blade Runner 2049 and Dune visuals and audio are totally worth having in physical.

Protip: Use Black Friday or other sales to land copies of great movies for a good price. Sometimes they'll also have the digital code if you want some of that streaming convenience.
