What is a good Blue-ray player to buy?

What should I buy Blueray or hd player?

  • can anyone without an added interest in either format tell me which is the best one to buy, and which has the best picture. thanks in advance

  • Answer:

    Blueray has the potential for a better picture (better data transfer rates). Get the May edition of PC World. They have a high-def video super-guide on page 90. One warning though. They rate the Samsung player a best buy. Widescreen Review reported months ago that this player had problems with somewhat fuzzy picture when first released (problems with the digital comb filter). Be sure not to consider the Samsung unless this problem has been addressed. I think it was, but you'd have to have a modified player. The sales person should be able to help with this. They say the Sony BDP-51 had the best picture from all the players, Blueray and HD-DVD combined. PS...Combination Players and media are just beginning to be released. You may want to wait for one of these since some movies are only released in one format.

good question. PS3 will make Blueray popular but HD-DVD is much cheaper I've seen both, not convinced there's any quality difference I'm going to wait a while

You shouldn't buy either - not for the moment. The only blu-ray and HD-DVD players available right now are actually not very good, and cost a hell of a lot of money. It's far better to wait until there are more and better players on the market (and to see if blu-ray or HD-DVD wins the format battle. Remember VHS and Betamax...?).

well, as somebody who has both, I'd say that I like the picture with the HD-DVD better. I know the Blu-ray has the potential to do better, but I've yet to see that potential translate into something tangible. It does look like Blu-ray will win this format war, as it's getting a lot more support from the studios. And blu-ray is undoubtedly better for data applications, because of the higher storage capacity.

HD Player has a better picture than Blueray in my opinion.
