Hd-dvd? I've seen Hd-dvd displayed and it looked nothing more then 480i and i wasn't refering to its combo twin discs
so where is the HD 1080p Toshiba is talking about?

I'm buying blu-ray movies because i'm tired of regular dvds especially fullscreen dvds

No offense, but what are you talking about?

If you really feel that way, something was terribly wrong with at least one of the following:

1.) The displays used.

2.) The players.

3.) The overall setup.

4.) Your eyes.

There's no way in hell that HD-DVD should look like 480i to anyone. Even the worst discs.

Who knows? Who cares?

Well implemented 1080i is indistinguishable from 1080p anyways.

Yes unforunately the Toshiba HD DVD players are connected to a lot of poor screens and/or aren't set up correctly, i.e. wrong output resolution. Not the best way to sell an HD product.

What misconfiguring something isn't the way to sell that product hogswallop. In a major retail store just about nothing is hooked up correctly and everythign looks very poor and there are soo many signal ampliefiers and every tv has the brightness cranked up all the way.

Yes more and more people complain about the quality. Currently many users report audio skiping in HD DVD titles released.

I've had zero problems with my player. The only problem is I don't have enough time to watch as much of the HD movies as I would like.

nobody ever has enough time to watch movies.
