Rips downloaded from the internet do a decent job but are not close to their originals. I watch Blu-rays on my 1080p 15.6 inch screen which covers the entire sRGB colour spectrum and I can tell the difference quite easily. People are either inclined towards quality or convenience.

The iTunes version is drastically compressed and some of the facial details are lost. Not to mention that the audio quality is nowhere near to that of the Blu-Rays. I don't mind watching movies on iTunes or other vendors, but if I really like the movie, I will watch it in the highest quality possible.
