Hope this is OK to post, I didn’t see anything in the wiki and the last convo about this subject that I found was 1 year old.

So what I do right now, for TV shows I usually go for PSA (even though their website is kinda hard to use, they’re quick and OK quality) or Megusta (from eztv). Then, if it’s something I want to keep, I’ll hold on to these files until I can replace them with Blu-ray x265 rips, usually from qxr. For movies I usually go for qxr Blu-ray rips unless it’s something I don’t want to wait for, then I just go for a x265 web rip either from PSA or whatever else I can find on 1337x

I’m watching mainly on my laptop (WQXGA IPS display) and the quality seems good for the file sizes, but I’m wondering if maybe I’m missing some better encoders/websites. I wouldn’t mind larger files unless it’s something like double the filesize for 5% quality increase

Follow-up question (maybe not fit for this sub, this is more about my laptop specs): even though my display is not 4K, I can watch 2160p rips and to me they look better than 1080p rips. Am I just imagining this? :) Or is the display actually capable of rendering higher definitions?
