I never thought that I would become a quality whore but lately, I can hardly stand to watch anything in standard definiation. Beyond that, I read reviews for just about everything I'm thinking of upgrading (most recently, Sin City which is an amazing blu-ray upgrade).

It's actually becoming a problem because we only two blu-ray players - The PS3 downstairs and the blu-ray player in my room. What that means in the long haul is that my son and my mother can't watch anything new that I'm purchasing (since they only have DVD players).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing - becoming nearly completely adverse to watching standard def.

well when you talk about resolution, that's basically the quality of the picture.

The display resolution of a digital television or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by all different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT) and flat panel or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.

if you're talking about TV's

Obviously, hd is going to look better at 40", but nobody with more sense than money watches TV at that size.

then you're talking about picture quality.


HD does have to do with picture quality. what else would there be?

High resolution means you can make it bigger without it looking like a big pile of ass. It has almost nothing to do with the quality of the picture.

Blu-ray vs. DVD is a totally different argument. Since you can fit so much more data on a blu-ray disk, that leaves room for better quality graphics, better quality audio, etc. Put a 30 second clip at 1080p in a blu-ray disk and in a DVD, I can guarantee they will look and sound exactly the same.

Edit:

Hell, put a 1080p clip on a VHS and on a Blu-ray disk, it will still look exactly the same.
