Keep in mind that bitrate is king. Of course anything on FMovies is gonna look crap because they can't afford the bandwidth for all the people that use it to have crazy high bitrate streams.
A decent 20-40mbps 1080p movie is gonna look better than any FMovies type site streaming 4k.
It's quite some work to set it up and get it running but I use the *arr stack with Jellyfin and Kodi
Here's a guide to get started with docker: link
It's fire and forget, so you set it up and configure it and then you basically have your own netflix. I'm currently downloading everything in 1080p Blue-Ray quality which looks pretty nice on my 27inch 1440p monitor (Kodi also upscales your Videos, which is nice). You can also setup Jellyseerr after you followed the Trash Guide to make downloading just a matter of 3 clicks, really feels like you have your own netflix just better
Also don't forget to use some kind of vpn for torrenting with sonarr/radarr if you're in a country where torrentimg is illegal
An alternative to torrenting though is Usenet. It takes a bit of setting up but there are some nice advantages. No worrying about needing to seed back and you're not going to need to worry about a VPN or your ISP forwarding on threatening letters. Sure it costs money, but I think I pay about £45 per year and I don't regret that one little bit.
Viewing distance and bitrate are most important. Sitting too close will make many things look bad.
For a 32 inch display you want to be 4 and a half feet back, and for a cinematic view you want 3 feet back.
