I intend to to use DVD's for decades to come, although I use a traditional DVD player rather than a PC DVD player for my movies or television series disc sets.
I think like someone mentioned here in this thread, working DVD players will be possible to purchase, even long into the future, even if they might demand more of a price tag, when working devices become less commonplace.
As Judge points out though, 1080p seems to be the limit for having DVD's play at an acceptable quality.
I still haven't moved past 1080p and don't intend to for a while, so this isn't a problem for me at the moment.
The real irony here is that I'm fine with FHD 1080p. But the market took away those larger than 43" televisions to force consumers into 4K technology.
I'd be "happy as a clam" if I could find a brand new 55" or 60" FHD tv. One with all the bells and whistles I miss from my last widescreen tv. Seems now while there are a handful of manufacturers out there who make 40" to 43" FHD screens, they are also somewhat lacking in features that I enjoyed with my last widescreen tv.
So to get that larger set that would be much easier to read so much fine text with streaming media, I would have to give up DVDs other than to play them on the set I have. And yes, I have thought of possibly relocating that tv not necessarily in another room, but to literally have two tv sets in my living room. (Not sure if my OCD can stand that.)
