Exceptional Quality and True HD Video with Blue Ray DVD players
Blue ray is the newest disk player on the market containing up to 50GB of data on a disk. Although it’s the same size as a CD-ROM or a regular DVD, Blue ray disks have more data. Up to 50GB of data can be included on a blue ray disk with only 700MB for CD-ROM and only 9GB for DVD disks.
What’s important to remember about blue ray is not the contents of the disk, but what the additional data brings to the viewer. The current storage of blue ray disks is just enough to fit high-definition video. With HD norms beginning at 720p (for 720 lines of progressive scanning), this is four times better than the normal DVD. The sharp disparity can be seen with HD video monitors larger than 21 inches. The colors are sharper and with more clarity inimage with HD compared to regular TV images.
Although 720p is the baseline quality, the newest blue ray DVD players can handle up to 1080p, and future upgrades are also set to handle higher video resolutions.
Blue ray also includes requirements for audio. Up to 8 channels of audio are a part of in the standard set up for HD electronics, that includes cables, connectors, monitors, projectors and specially blue ray DVD players.
Sony blu-ray dvd players which are out on the market currently may be a somewhat more pricey than regular DVD players, but with the slated phase out of analog TV equipment, digital video is expected to pump the sales further.
