Blu-Ray and HD-DVD technology are definitely not as impressive as they would like you to believe. Why? Because you have to have everything perfect to have the full effect, and the technology isn't needed for everything.
First, to experience super high definition, you have to have: 1) A Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player. 2) An HDTV capable of excellent picture quality. 3) A superb sound system.
That alone costs thousands of dollars. I automatically take myself out of their target market because of this. The HDTV's I've seen don't have a smooth picture. The plasma TV I saw at Best Buy was superb, but it was $5,000. The other HDTV's were bright, but the pictures looked choppy. The pictures, to me, don't always look much sharper either. They just look brighter. And if I'm wrong in this, I stand firm that the picture quality upgrade from standard definition TV to HDTV is unimpressive, and doesn't deserve the hype that the companies are giving it.
Also, there's no need for this HDTV except for action movies and video games. HD cable TV is a horrible idea. Do I really need to see soap operas or cartoon shows in high def?
