By HD I mean 1920x1080 and since we don't have that broadcastet over here I mean from a disc, more specific HDDVD. Bluray would also fall into the category.



I remember seeing some screenshots for Gladiator and Matrix broadcast source back before hddvd/bluray, so I know the quality is different there.

hmm. ok. Well I can say that with my gear the video/audio difference between DVD and Blu-ray is dramatic.

I'm not saying the difference isn't there, I'm just saying that on a small tv (<50) at a standard viewing distance (about 10 feet) the difference is limited, especially if you got a good player, good tv and a good dvd transfer (e.g. Moi ).

Bluray will always be for enthusiast (granted given my system I should fall under that category ) and I doubt will be of much interest with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.

Plunk all that coin on an HDTV and an Advanced audio receiver, quit being cheap and go the extra mile.

Hey Rob... does HDMI cable make any difference?

I think you may just have convinced me here Rob, even tho I always routed for BD during the war, I now see what I truly miss!

yes, HDMI absolutely makes a difference. It's required for watching Blu-ray in full 1080p. Otherwise content will be down converted.

Thanks. actually i've been watching BD's on my mac with BD rom and a DVI output to my 30 inch Apple Cinema Display. Now i'm trying to make a setup for my LCD TV.

ok, some of you have to much, money. PM me I'll give you my address for donations. hehe

oh I didnt know you had DVI, keep it, it's just as good as HDMI. DVI output is not as popular as HDMI cause its rare in Blu-ray players. And HDMI carries video and audio, DVI just does video.
