Just Say Nay to Blu-ray!
Today I would like to address the many video enthusiasts who may be inspecting buying a Blu-ray Disc player and/or the Blu-ray discs to go with it. As you can see by the title of this post, I’m not convinced by Blu-ray and I recommend you to “tread carefully” when inspecting investing in Blu-ray. I firmly believe that Blu-ray is not going to have the same awesome impact that Dvd did when it first came out and ever since. Visual discs will soon be a thing of the past as many netbook and notebook Pc makers opt for disc-less designs in their computers (less weight, more room for a bigger battery). Let’s study further:
1) Some quick history:
Hdtv
In 2006, a format war began in the middle of Hd Dvd and Blu-ray Disc. These two high-definition Visual disc formats were incompatible with each other and were attempting to improve upon and at last replace the Dvd suitable (high- definition video resolution of 1080p compared to Dvd’s 480p). Two years later in February 2008, Toshiba, the main firm supporting Hd Dvd “raised the white flag” and the format war was over – Blu-ray was the victor! Blu-ray would now set the new suitable and come to be the high-definition “king”! Blu-ray all the way! Right? Well, read on!!
2) Some revealing facts:
In 2009 (fully three years after the arrival of Blu-ray), digital movies and Tv shows generated more earnings than did Blu-ray. Digital movies generated roughly twice as much earnings as Blu-ray, while Dvd’s generated nine times as much earnings as Blu-ray!
3) Some key points to consider:
A) Without a doubt if you have a large screen Hdtv (≈ 50″ or bigger), then a Blu-ray player will give you the best photo and sound potential on the planet. You will sit at home and say “wow”! You will think that you’re honestly in the theater – which of procedure is the point! However, if your Hdtv screen size is smaller than ≈ 50″ then it plainly won’t be able to take full advantage of the color and detail facts that’s on the Blu-ray disc. In my belief it’s not worth the expense.
B) Up-scaled Dvd’s look astounding on a smaller Hdtv screen. Any decent up-conversion Dvd player (much less costly than a Blu-ray player) will turn the Dvd 480p to 1080i and it will be hard to tell the distinction in image potential with the Blu-ray. Dvd also looks very good on any non high-definition Tv (digital Sdtv).
C) Dvd’s have been colse to for 12 years and consequently are more numerous (1,900 Blu-ray movie titles available compared to 105,000 Dvd movie titles available). In addition, there are only 7 to 8 new Blu-ray releases per month compared to 900 new Dvd releases each month. Many times you can’t find the movie that you’re looking for in the Blu-ray format!
D) Do you honestly want to start an additional one video disc/player range again? First I bought a Vhs player and built up a nice range of movie titles in Vhs format, then I bought a Dvd player and amassed a good range of Dvd’s videos. Am I now going to start yet an additional one range of costly Blu-ray Discs and player? I think you know the answer! Just Say Nay To Blu-ray!!
E) Last but honestly not least: The time to come of accessing and watching video is by delivering it digitally through the Internet. Very soon all Tv’s will come with ethernet jacks or wi-fi in them allowing you to buy, watch, and stream video content directly from the Internet. Right now Microsoft’s Xbox Live instantly streams from Netflix over the Internet to your Tv and the foreseen, Roku box instantly streams high potential movies from Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand. This is just the beginning. Online digital download of movies on Internet enabled Tv’s will soon make discs and disc players roughly obsolete.
