Blu-ray vs. Standard Definition

[Dark_Prince]

Am I the only one who finds watching standard definition DVD's quite difficult now having got used to a run of Hi Def discs.

I don't even have a huge display, and it's only capable of 1080i, but after watching a string of Blu Rays recently, including Phantom of the Opera, Superman, Pirates 1 & 2, Dreamgirls, Ghost Rider and The Sentinel, I settled down to watch a film on standard DVD, and found the picture quality really lacking.

I'm really throwing myself into Blu Ray now, with the only standard DVD's I'm looking to keep being the Star Wars and Indy discs, which do still look good in Standard Definition, the Universal discs I have, which are mainly Spielberg films, the Disney Animated Classics because I can't wait 7 or 8 years for some of these films to come around again and Doctor Who - which won't benefit from being on Blu Ray anyway.

Has anyone else started to feel this way. It's very similar to when DVD took over from VHS, and I didn't expect to see such a big difference this time. I can only imagine what a noticeable difference it is on some of the large screen displays, and with more and more people switching over to big screen TV's, surely the future of Blu Ray is assured.
