BluRay question
- Thread starter Hulk
- Start date
just a little heads up though so you dont get burned when you buy a TV, but make sure the TV ACCEPTS 1080p from and input source. Alot of 1080p TV's simply up-convert all incoming signlas to 1080p but the actual inputs dont accept a true 1080p signal from something like a BluRay or HD-DVD player. But most of the new TV's coming out that do 1080p do accept the input signal, but not all.
I have heard that as well about Blu-Ray with the picture not being that good, while HD-DVD has a great picture. Now having not seen a side by side comparison in person thats just going by what I have read. Plus if they were playing it on a shitty TV or maybe even a split signal that could be the issue. IMO HD Movies are going to take a long time to catch on, even longer than the swap from VHS to DVD. The swap from VHS to DVD had tons of benefits to justify doing it. The step from SD DVD's to HD DVD's isnt as a big. If you ask me I see no reason for me to replace all 200+ of my DVD's with HD ones. Just get a nice upconvert DVD player and it looks damn good if you ask me.
Blauman, that's what I was worried about - buying a 720P tv right now and finding out that in a year or two normal dvds will be obsolete and HD DVDs will be the norm.
However you just said the opposite. A lot of people don't even own a HD TV yet, and even less people will probably buy HD dvd players.
I'm really in a jam here. Should I just buy a tv that does 720P or wait till the 1080P models drop in price? There is no way I will buy the 1080P samsung right now because it's at least $1,000 more than the same size but 720P resolution.
