When I had a crappola ADSL connection, I always preferred watching on the AppleTV vs the apps on the Sony/LG TV or on the XBox One X

Apple seemed to have better buffering and although I was told I couldn't get UHD/4K on my old ADSL, the TV apps/XBox said I was getting UHD after about 4-5 minutes of watching. The AppleTV always looked as good from start to finish whereas the TV/XBox apps would start off a bit more grainy before slowly getting to the same quality at the end.

Our national broadband fibre network finally hit the curb outside the home late January and I finally got it hooked up this week. The standard speed was 45Mbps typical and I got them to turn on the 100Mbps boost option. Last night I turned on DisneyPlus on the AppleTV (4K) hooked up to my HT with a Sony 760ES projector to watch the first couple of scenes from Mandalorian, Rogue One and Episode 4.

And I noticed MAJOR MAJOR upgrades on the video quality. Perhaps the biggest improvement was in Episode 4. I already had the movie on the FullHD BluRay from a number of years back but holy crap.. the amount of wear and tear on C3PO and R2.. the smudges on Vader's mask (including how badly constructed it was) and even scuff marks on the Stormtroopers uniform.. was just uncanny.
