Excuse me for sounding silly, but whats the difference between Blue Ray DVDs and ordinary, I've just got a new TV and part of the deal was a blue ray DVD obviously I haven't got any discs to try it out, I know I can still play ordinary DVDs, so is it that much better

yes, picture quality is much higher, sound better quality etc

Blu Ray is the HD to DVD's Standard def.

Jaysay, I was told that that if your TV isn't 37 inches upwards you won't be able to see the improved picture quality(which is superb). So spending the extra money on Blue-ray discs(they're not cheap) would be wasted.
Don't know if it's true but worth checking if relevant.

Another new TV, you must burn them out

resolution/viewing size makes a wonderful discussion, can you see teh diffreence at 37"? yes you can. I certainly can. its the difference between running your screen at 800x600 and 1920x1200. ( as DVD is 576 lines, against HD 1080).

No Neil I just upgrade, when the only enjoyment you have in life is sitting on a chair at your compute screen taking the **** out of you, and watching the TV why not have the best
