Sure. But we have to define “better” in this context. If by better, you’re thinking more convenient, then yes, go ahead and download the Netflix app on your smart television and stream to your heart's content. But that will not deliver you the fidelity that a Blu-ray disc can bring. If by “better” you mean higher resolution, then yes, there’s now a small segment of the market dedicated to Ultra HD Blu-ray films delivering higher frame rates and larger picture formats. However, that’s still a small segment and will take years before films are actually shot and delivered at those resolutions. So, yes, in short, there are some better options, but we feel like a good Blu-ray player like you'd find on this list delivers the kind of fidelity that would make most cinephiles happy while also being able to upscale some of your old favorites. It’s like buying a good record player and saving the coin by avoiding the ultra-lux HX record spinning device that doesn’t deliver that much more in the way of quality.
