Hey all,

I've got a 42" LG plasma which is 1080P ready.
I decided to splash out and i brought a sony blu-ray player yesterday.
Tried a DVD out at home (i don't own any blu-rays yet), but i couldn't see any difference in quality.
Is it meant to be noticeable?

Cheers

er it doesn't magically make DVDs HD quality. . it might upscale them but DVDs are not high def.

There is a huge difference between the quality of a DVD and Blu Ray.

Sorry But a DVD will still be a DVD, to get the Full experience you have to have a Blue-ray Disk

I dont reckon its worth the Investment. .
Blue Ray Disks are still so Bloody Expensive. . wether they are that much better? ? ? ? well that is truly debatable. .

Have you heard of these new things called Video Ezy or Fatso? Check them out. PS - maybe an eye test as well.

Disks are so inconvenient. I wonder two things : will blu-ray ever outsell DVD and will there still be any market for either of them in ~2014, after the new international cable + fibre to the home etc is finished?

Although many resolutions and formats are supported, most consumer DVD Video discs use either 4:3 or anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio MPEG-2video, stored at a resolution of 720/704×480 (NTSC) or 720/704×576 (PAL) at 29. 97, 25, or 23. 976 FPS

from wikipedia. Full HD is 1920×1080 and 1280×720 HD Ready.
