Not worth it

[assydingo]

I got a 42 in. Phillips around October. At first it was for my xbox 360 and the difference was night and day with the games. Soon after I got a ps3 and started getting blu-ray movies.

The pq was impressive. I never stopped to think maybe it wasn't that much better than dvd. I also didn't have any blu-ray movies that I also had on dvd To test it out.

Lately I've bought musicals on blu-ray that I owned previously on dvd. Across The Universe seemed better but with dvd I hadn't watched it upscaled. Sweeney Todd I actually checked and there is barely any noticeable difference from the dvd to blu-ray. And it's not even a bad transfer.

I decided to really test it by watching High School Musical 3. Not only is the pq demo quality, or very close, I've seen it multiple times on blu-ray so I'd know the difference. The difference was noticeable but still small imo.

I've came to the conclusion that blu-ray isn't worth it. People say if you have a uber speaker system the sound is way different. That might be true but PQ is really what matters to me.

The difference ranges from almost nothing to fairly noticeable at specific parts and that isn't enough. It should wow me going from 480 to 1080 but apparently upscaling is incredible or something because it doesn't.

Oh well, I just paid more on 60 or so movies. At least some of them were on sale... kind of pissed about Pinocchio though. The dvd looks the same as the blu-ray and I paid for price.
