vote for George Bush again. He may not be the right man for the job, but he can sort out the war on DVD terror

question for all your TV junkies...

I am going to purchase a HDTV from what i read i should purchase atleast a 1080p TV but most of the lower priced models come with 720p only is it worth spending that much for a 1080p?

Also what is the diffrence between a upconverting DVD player and a HD DVD player? which one r0x0rz the most???

go 1080p, true hd.


dvds come at 480p, so hd dvd will come mucho better. and once you experience 1080p, its hard to go back.

Depends on what size screen you get. The visible difference between 720p and 1080p on 32-40" screens is negligible. Anything larger than that and you should definitely be looking at 1080p.

I'm not getting anything HD until this shit is sorted.

Roll on more combi players, then theres no more problems anyway.

Cable TV is 720p, 1080i at best, and I think this won't change for a while.

If you can't afford 1080p, just get a 720p, it will still blow your mind away.

Originally posted by BTG Hd DVD will win simply because it's called HD-dvd. morons from texas will be like "Oh , i already know and understand this technology. I will purchase" blue-ray is more of a "Whats blue-ray" sorta thing to hillbillies.

you're a moran.

It's exactly the opposite. Blu-Ray is clearly something different, entirely. Most people think HD-DVD is just some weird DVD--not an entirely different [see: superior] format. I'd bet money that that fact, alone, has a lot to due with the disparity.

I dunno if what he said was entirely moronic. 'HD' is already understood by the masses since high definition has been around now for a good 7 or 8 years, and of course everyone knows 'DVD' by now. Combining the two terms may influence a lot of dumbasses, because the words 'blu-ray' doesnt reflect a video format in the average consumer's eyes. In other words, many people probably dont know what the hell 'blu-ray' even is. A survey a few months back proved that over half of PS3 owners didnt even know their console had blu-ray playback.

But on the other hand, blu-ray is being shoved down people's throats with Sony's black box. If you buy a PS3, you buy a blu-ray player. Period. Thats probably the best way for a company to get a new format out the door and running...by forcing consumers to buy into it.

You have to keep in mind that most people aren't tech-savvy, & get confused when you start mentioning acronyms. This seems idiotic, but it's not a part of their day-to-day lives at all, so when they hear "HD-DVD," they're not sure what it is. Yes, 'Blu-Ray' isn't self-explanatory, but it's clearly something different. They realize that it's separate from DVD, while they're not sure if HD-DVD is really new or not.

lol wtf is that avatar
