Hi everyone (and Happy Holidays)

This is fairly straightforward...
As a happy user of PDVD18 (Ultra), and someone who only watches normal (non-3d) BD and DVD movies, and content on my PC, is there any benefit for me to upgrade to 19 Ultra?

I don't use PDVD to watch any streaming services or Youtube, and I don't have any 8K content, (or an 8K TV).

I also am unable to find any clear or comprehensive comparison of new featues between version 18 and 19.

Thanks.

It`s pretty much 50/50.

PowerDVD 18 Version 3010:
3D: 5/5
Video/image: 4/5
Audio/headphone:5/5

PowerDVD 19 Version 2126:
3D: 5/5
Vuideo/image: 5/5 (thanks to 64-bit, images just wow!)
Audio/headphone: 2/5 ( audio distortion, still not been resolved since released)

As i have both versions on my pc, i go with 18.

Thanks for your reply. And yes I would make the same decision as you. I'd rather have an almost perfect image with great audio, than a perfect image with bad audio.
