Which? Convo: Is high-definition all it’s cracked up to be? Not on many Blu-ray movies as it turns out. Despite the routine claims that Blu-ray delivers ‘the maximum HD experience’ some barely look better than their DVD counterparts following our vigorous lab tests.
According to Bloomberg, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has expressed concern regarding the potential misuse of platform content by OpenAI’s Sora, an AI-driven video creation tool.
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is touted for having incredible battery life for a Wear OS watch, and that saved me when I forgot the charger on a trip.
well that doesnt stop people from getting Bluray
The upgraded quality isn't to much but its noticeable so thats the selling point blu-ray makers use
It really depends on the film and how it's transferred, and it has improved from when Blu-ray was in its infancy. This sometimes was/is due to budgets though, which you'll notice depending on the significance of the film. Back then a lot of older films didn't look too great as they could, or they were just lazy. When it comes to content like Planet Earth or Pixar films though, there is a big difference especially if you have a good display.
But keep in mind, it's not just video, but audio as well, though you will need a decent sound system.
Now in the UK I'm not sure prices on Blu-ray, but over here in the states, prices have come down a lot and there are frequent sales, so over there it may not be worth buying Blu-ray all the time, but over here it seems the prices hover around or just over DVD prices a few years ago.
Plus with Netflix, I rent a lot of Blu-ray, then buy movies from time to time, so the cost has never really been an issue for me, or many other people. Is there a solid British equivalent to Netflix over there?
Blu-ray is a storage media no different to USB pens, SD cards or Hard drives.
If they could make a 3.25" floppy that supported 25GB and had read speeds of up to 25MB/s and beyond its will equal Blu-ray
Well after reading the article, the same satement can be made of DVD's looking like a VHS cassette in picture quality. The current blu-ray movies I own are new release's of movies that came out around the time blu-ray came into the picture. So the only compliant I have is when you see (forgot the trem used in the industry) a dark blue (or whatever color) gradually turing into a lighter blue (or whatever color) but it does not just blend, you see stepping, or layers of the color trying to blend.
The plus side of blu-ray, is the storage capcity, I like the idea of watching an HD movie, with out having to flip the disc over, or insert a disc 2 to finish the movie, like on some DVD's.
