Welcome to the Internet. This stuff happens in other fandoms as well, like DCEU and MCU.

It's an odd one. Whilst bitrate isn't as high, the best Netflix version is 2160p HDR with 7.2 audio. The Blu-ray is just 1080p with 5.1, and doesn't have that HDR pop, but looks and sounds better from the higher bitrate I would imagine.
Maybe wait for the eventual 4K UHD, if you're after the highest quality.
Pretty sure Netflix is fibbing a bit there. Everything I've heard is the show is shot in 1080p.
No, no it isn't, Discovery is 1080p.
You're both wrong, and in fact everyone else that says it's filmed in 1080p is wrong too.
Besides the show already airing in 4K (2160p) HDR and having that version pirated online, they literally show and mention it's the first 4K Star Trek series and they show the camera films at 2.8K, which is upscaled to 4K (and cropped to 2:1 aspect ratio) in post.
Not sure what else can be said about this, except people should shut up about this now.
I'd ask you tone down the rhetoric, but we've already done that numerous times and you show no hint of complying. There was nothing said that warranted this part of your reply. Just disagree with them without telling them to "shut up". And this comes right on the heels of your rant a few posts up and calling another poster "Sis."
Infraction for trolling. Comments to PM.
My steelbook arrived in the mail today. I like the design, it's easy to open. Each disc has it's own tray. The discs have some nice art on them with each episode title listed. I'll probably start watching it this weekend.
Where? And, if its upscaled to 4K, then it isn't 4K. My TV upscales everything to 2160p to fit the screen and has a fake HDR mode for non-HDR material.
You're ALWAYS going to get compression over an Internet connection when streaming. Especially from servers serving a wide userbase.
Netflix have on many occasions stated that they don't have the license to show Discovery in 4k. However the odd person (mainly those who watched it on edge browser) have said episodes 1 and 2 were originally shown in 4k, but by the time episode 3 came around they dropped back to 1080.
Currently all episodes on Netflix are in 1080 HDR/DV

Okay. Hope it arrives without further trouble.
I think the internet brings out the worst in people. After seeing the nasty elements of Star Wars fandom and stuff like Comicsgate, I've stopped being surprised at people getting huffy that others think differently then them.
(I prefer home media for stuff I want to rewatch on a regular basis, but I do have to admit that streaming is a nice alternative when I want to see something new. It won't replace the nostalgia of video rental stores or the wider selection of older stuff, but it has its place.)
Buying a Star Trek series on disc gets you the definitive version. The best quality picture, audio, as well as extras.
It's hard for me to understand why a "real Trekkie" wouldn't want it. Streaming is more convenient, yes, but you're dealing with slow internet speeds, annoying pixelation, and the fact it won't always be available.

Long time coming
It’s not 4K anywhere. If it was you’d have 4K/1080p screenshot comparisons everywhere
I was referring to the information about the cameras they are supposedly using on the show.
In the case of several of the Trek movies, the mastering for blu-ray hasn't been quite up to "definitive version" level.
