I have experienced the apparent superiority of DVDs, Blurays and 4K blurays to streaming 1080 and 4K videos over the internet on a Sony 940D 75" monitor (I employ higher end cabling and a Synergistic Research black duplex with Stillpoints for vibration control under the non-video monitor equipment). Maybe I just need a better streamer (at 300 Mbs speed) but I prefer the media to the streaming. I still enjoy streaming video.
As to audio, I prefer the physical media as well but don't have the streaming capabilities of the video system. I listen to 78s, LPs and CDs. I say that my video system is closer to perfection for visual enjoyment than my audio system. Yet I spend hours per day/night listening to music rather than watching TV. I get such a high level of emotion out of my audio system that I long to listen to music daily. I'm addicted to music more than I am to equipment despite being an audiophile. I rarely change equipment, only tweaks (cables, acoustic treatments and vibration controls). What I lack in ultimate resolution (such as rampant among the newest high end speakers), I have in tone qualilty, harmonic layering, dynamics and rhythm/pace of the music. It a sign of how good it is when friends and acquaintances don't want to leave when listening to music in my home-they are immersed in a sonic wonderland.
