The transition to 4K home entertainment began with the release of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and players in 2016. This new format offered consumers a way to experience 4K movies in the comfort of their own homes. The growth of streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, has also played a crucial role in popularizing 4K content. These services have made 4K movies and TV shows available to a broad audience, with many new releases now available in 4K resolution.
