I 3rd that. Even on a 42” Plasma I noticed extreme differences in SD vs HD content, mostly the compression artifacting of SD, and of course fine detail. But for sure, the bigger the display the more you want and need that detail.

There’s no point to this article. She’s not saying one is worse or better than the other, or that one should have won. She’s simply stating that she’s disappointed that HD-DVD backers didn’t make an appearance at CES. So, “don’t blame the press” for leaning one way or another. Oh, and yet, “don’t blame the people behind the marketing of…

Jeff, no not all view the extras, but a lot more than you think do. You might never have yourself - else you might not feel the way you do. But for those of us who appreciate all aspects of movies - not just the face of it, the commentary (for me) and other aspects are quite interesting. I agree…

I completely agree with Jamie. Even 1080i/720p is a huge difference from 480p SD DVDs, let alone 1080p. It’s *definitely* noticable.

In the review, Rebecca stated that the high defintiion picture was not exponentially better than then standard definition.  I was just wondering what display device she was watching this on as from my viewing experience, hd simply blows away sd.  Hd has to be watched on a bigger 1080p set in order to get the true feel of what it…

I just don’t see how the extras that HD-DVD offers are advantageous.  Who needs PIP on a HD player?!?  I just don’t get it…  More features doesn’t always equal better, especially when it is silly stuff 99.9% of the population will never use.  I never use PIP on my cable box, let alone on a video playback device…

I got mine at umodz.com and have had it for 6 months and it’s been great.  I’m not sure what wrinkles or waves the previous poster is talking about.  I needed a bigger screen to replace my old one and Elite offers the best bang for the buck.

Like Politics, HDDVD should have had negative attacks ads on TV. Describe that most of the BD players out that will not be able to play new features because the BD standard is not done. Something like “you want interactive features like PiP, not so with BD. You have to wait for 1.1 which will not be available 11/07. You…

better check that your screen does not have wrinkles, waves and MISSING BLACK VINYL BACKING.  These guys will tell you anything to make the sale and then say “oops”.  The website is inaccurate and when you try to talk to anyone above first level in the company, they blow you off!!

How exactly do consumers vote?  Was there ballot going around that I didn’t see?  They vote by how they spend their dollars, and just like political candidates, the companies involved spend money to try and win their vote.  In this case, it was pretty clear that consumers were voting blu-ray more than HD DVD. Now, you can lament that the…
