Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ?
My display is 1080 and seems be capable of stunning picture limited by source. Cable HD can look awesome, but I understand it is not 1080p. Currently I'm using an upscaling DVD player and movies look very good, but I think it's time to think about exploiting the capabilities of my TV. What is the latest thinking on HD/Blu-Ray players? Should I look for a universal DVD that plays both formats, or choose one like the Toshiba HD-XA2 that has top marks in one format only? Thanks for your opinions.

I have a player for both formats--XA1 and the Sammy 1200-- One format isn't better in pq---than the other. But, a quality transfer in either format is stunning. ---OH, and don't lets forget the audio is that much better too. I use the 5.1 analog output. Using the old coax or toslinc reduces this new format's audio quality. Anyway, either fromat is as good a signal as your tv will get. |
I jumped on the Blu-Ray wagon about a month too early... I bought the Sony last month. I do love it, and the picture quality. However, I stated a month to early as a buddy just emailed me this link! http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9719376-1.html?tag=cnetfd.mt Now appears to be the time to grab a Blu-Ray if you are on the fence... |
