I suggest to clean your monitors then. Or getting some glasses. Tsss, can´t see the difference between 720x480 and 1920x1080 resolution.... (6 times the resolution!!!)


I must say i agree that you can definatly see a difference. But if your telling me that this difference is worth a) buying new equipment to watch stuff in HD b) repurchasing all your DVDs in HD or c) just paying the prices for the equipment and DVDs alone, your out of your mind.

I don't think the difference is all that great. Then again i do think it all depends on what you base watching movies on. If your watching a movie simply for the picture then i think you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Me personally, i watch for content. So you will never see me buying "XXX" on Blu Ray. However i will end up spluging on a "Schindler's List" laserdisc.

What i think is impressive on these new HD formats is the audio. But thats a whole other story..
