Blu-ray to DVD

[cruisyeyes]

Is there anyone here that at one time had a Blu-ray player and downgraded to a DVD player? I did and I can't really see the difference.

Sony BDP-300 to Sony DVP-NS700H/B

Huh? I can see and hear the difference.

Well to see a difference you need a big TV that displays 1080 horizontal lines. My feelings are a bit in-between, while I can see there is indeed a difference, I would say it is not the super big difference it should be. (except in Pixar animations and the likes).

if you're saying regular dvd's look as good as blu-ray discs then I'm absolutely baffled here.

Why spread this misinformation?

Hmmmmm, maybe try pulling your head outta your @ss and then it will become quite clear that Blu-ray looks much better and sounds much better.

I was going to comment as well, but seeing he spends NO time in any of the tech forums (this is probably the first post of his I've seen in a non-OT/games/movie thread), I just chocked it up to ignorance and moved-on.

You either:

1) Don't have your system connected properly
2) Don't have a very good TV
3) Are sitting too far away from a small screen
4) Have very poor eyesight

or

5) Are trolling and trying to start trouble

There's no valid reason for anyone to claim they see no difference between BD and DVD.

Blu-ray laptops - 1920x1200 screens, also a 42" 1080p HDTV.
Yes, there is a difference if you are connected properly and are the proper distance from whatever display you use.

Also, why would you swap out the BD player?
Blu-ray Disc players play DVDs fine.

I watched American History X on DVD the other day, and I felt like blu-ray really spoiled me.

I can't even stand to watch regular DVD's anymore. Just looks like crap to me.

These type of posts are fun to read lmao

I just recently no longer saw a difference between my car and a horse and buggy. So I switched back.

I had enough trouble watching Journey to the Center of the Earth and not having HD audio (stupid Warner). Unless you're not using an HDTV the difference between Blu-ray and dvd is clearly obvious, and if you have any sort of decent sound system the difference between HD audio and regular audio is very clear.
