Great Quality and Clear HD Video with Blue Ray DVD players
Blue ray is the most modern 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 are capable of more data. Up to 50GB of data can be stored in 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 storage brings to the consumer. The current storage of blue ray disks is just enough to fit high-definition video. With HD norms having a baseline of 720p (for 720 lines of progressive scanning), this is four times data throughput than the common DVD. The sharp difference can be visible with HD video screens larger than 21 inches. The colors are sharper and with betterimage with HD compared to common TV images.
Although 720p is the required minimum quality, the newest blue ray DVD players can handle up to 1080p, and future upgrades are also specify to handle higher video resolutions.
Blue ray also includes specifications for audio. Up to 8 channels of audio are specified in the standard set up for HD equipment, that includes cables, connectors, monitors, projectors and specially blue ray DVD players.
Sony Blue Ray models which are for sale right now may be a somewhat more pricey than regular DVD players, but with the mandated phase out of analog TV equipment, digital video is expected to bear the brunt of the sales further.
