What quality do you go for with Radarr and Sonarr? (discuss.tchncs.de)

As the title says I’m curious what quality people choose. I chose Ultra-HD and am a little stunned when I look at the file sizes for some movies at 100GB.

Another question is how can I change the quality and will Radarr remove the existing download and then get a smaller one?

If it helps I have a GPU capable of hardware transcoding.

I just use the trash guides I don't do 4k and I have it as low as DVD because a lot of cartoons don't get picked up when I had dvd quality disabled.

To change the quality just make multiple profiles, i have one for 4k and one for regular. Default is regular but sometimes rarely I'll set a movie to 4k and then just hit the search button and it will upgrade it or downgrade if I went the other way

Thanks for this. I now know what I’m doing more.
