Title: sukk it sony blow-ray. Post by: stroh on August 18, 2008, 11:55:45 AM Toshiba FTW!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20080818/bs_nf/61397;_ylt=AtgC7fZj3WjO.llI25XxyZAjtBAF Brings up a couple of other much more meaty issues. They title the article end run. I believe they are referring to running an end around. Another one that keeps me up at night. People saying quote and un-quote. When they should be saying quote and end quote. That's all for now. Title: Re: sukk it sony blow-ray. Post by: hobbit on August 18, 2008, 02:15:08 PM Unfortunately, I think its all smoke and mirrors and in the 'end' will mean nothing. If it does not play $Blue Ray$ (or HD DVD), its a device that no one really needs and will quickly be made obsolete by models that do. You cannot generate resolution from nothing - upconverting is of little value at all.
Then again, I could be wrong - seems we have an entire population that distorts SD signals on widescreens because they like to feel like they are using the whole screen. I use native formats and the bars on the side of the screen if its not HD. The DirecTV installer actually tried to change it and I stopped him. SD stretched(distorted) to fill a widescreen - hate [sm_devil] The whole high-def DVD market went to chit the moment Sony purchased the win. A standard was supposed to break it wide open, but Sony's pricing model has kept it stuck in the mud. Its time people recognized Sony as the *feces* company it really is - they should have never been allowed to buy the market the way they did. I blame the studios, who are too stupid to even understand the things they influence. Thats more hate on the matter [sm_devil] [/aske-mode] Title: Re: sukk it sony blow-ray.

You cannot generate resolution from nothing - upconverting is of little value at all. Then again, I could be wrong... You are. ;) Upconverted DVD on my A35 is vastly superior to SDVD. It's not perfect and it doesn't rise to the level of HD-DVD but it's not bad. Upconverting players are easily the favorites in this race. Agree with everything you said starting with "The whole high-def DVD market went to chit..." I've actually lost interest for the time being. It will be piqued again when I'm comfortable I'm safe from being a "fool me twice" gob*feces*e. [sm_shock] Title: Re: sukk it sony blow-ray.
