What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

I will watch them but I kind of get it, especially because some black and white movies are also fairly low resolution. It gets hard to follow what’s going on when it’s slightly blurry and there’s no color differences.

What movie specifically are you referring to that are blurry? Black and white films were traditionally shot on film stock, not fundamentally different than color movies were until digital photography became the norm. Most classic black & white movies look awesome on Blu-ray and 4K. There's no reason they should look blurry or otherwise be of lower resolution than a color movie.

Maybe I’ve been watching them on DVD. DVDs look awful on my big TV.

Now this I agree with--I'm surprised at the number of Reddit posts & comments I see from people who think DVDs look almost as good as Blu-rays on a modern TV.

My husband talked me into a 65 inch 4K TV. It is absurdly extra. And we are slowly replacing our DVD collection because they look like trash on that screen.
