Blu-ray

Hi
Lol. I have not posted in ages but oh well. Ok so Blu-ray. This comes up because I am about to watch the Avatar blu-ray on my 1080p TV. Just a side note, 1080 is the number of pixels going down the side of the screen and p means the pixels all appear at once apposed to i, where the odd lines of pixels appear 1/30 of a second, that is 0.033, before the even lines, making p better......where was I..... OH YES. 1080p TVs and Blu-ray.

Now some people say there is no point in blu-ray. They say 1080p makes no difference. They are crazy. Ok. Now I couldn't be bothered to make my own comparison video but the maker of the Microwave Show(Is it a good idea to microwave this?) made a very good one already. Now watch the whole thing if you like, but what you should watch is around 2:05 in this video here(MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN 1080p). It shows the difference side by side of high definition and standard  definition footage and cameras.

So, it's just plain false the difference between HD and SD footage and therefore DVD and Blu-ray is unrecognizable. What some people say then however is, "I see the difference, but don't care. Why should I switch to something so much more expensive. Firstly, the cost. It will go down in 1 year and be the same price as normal DVDs. The same thing happened with DVDs and videos. Secondly, just imagine Avatar in all its HD brilliance......now imagine it in the grainy colour that was video.......it would look crap....

Lastly. Some people say Blu-ray will not survive because no body is buying it. Well the way I see it. It was the exact thing with DVD. People said it would not survive. The thing about Blu-ray is, it does something nothing else can. Firstly, full HD, secondly, 3D. I will not go into 3D but basically, there is so much data needed for it, Blu-ray is the only option.

So I hope that settles it. HD and Blu-ray and 1080p are worth it.
