About this episode
DJ sat down to enjoy another holiday classic and was surprised at the holiday gift he found. Die Hard 2 is streaming on Apple iTunes and Amazon Prime in 4K so he decided to compare that to the Physical disc in HD. What a rabbit hole he went down. What do you prefer? High Quality Picture with manipulated sound? Or High Quality sound with an inferior picture?DJ has his opinions…Push Play and see/hear for yourself.ENJOY
