Blu Ray and HDTV - The Perfect Combination

Most people who have not yet forked out a hefty sum of money for an HDTV yet have no idea how much of a better picture they will receive when they finally do make that inevitable purchase. The main reason why HDTV contains a much superior image is because of the many more lines of resolution that HDTV disperses to its screen. The cathode tube TV, on the other hand, only has analog signals to disperse it's much more inferior video signal to its glass screen.

It appears as though LCD will be the main technology behind most HDTV's as it now stands because plasma screens are more expensive to manufacture and consumers don't like the glare that emanates from these TV screens under the harsh lighting conditions of most stores that have LCD and plasma TV screens standing side by side. Another advantage of having an HDTV in your living room over the regular cathode TV screen is the fact that after the digital conversion this country will be going through in Summer 2009, even stations that are not broadcast in HD will look very stellar indeed, but only if you own a plasma or LCD HDTV.

Another element to consider is the fact that Sony has now won the war over which high-definition DVD format will be embraced by both Hollywood studios and the basic consumer for the foreseeable future. Sony developed a DVD format called Blue Ray DVD that essentially upgrades all movies embedded on their Blu Ray discs to 1080i resolutions, the best image possible for the average HDTV screen.

This break-through in technology means that anyone with an HDTV can now watch their favorite movies in true high-definition anytime they want to if they purchase a Blu Ray DVD player, and as long as their favorite movie is formatted for Blu Ray. If you have not yet done so, buying an HDTV will enhance your home entertainment viewing experience like no other component ever made.
