HD DVD Player for sale, best offer

Does your HDTV have to support 1080p to get this best picture quality out of the Blueray? How does the Blueray look as compared to the regular HD programming (I assume) that you have? I don't think my TV supports higher than 1080i, it's 1 1/2 years old, what a fossil.

Yes, you may see a somewhat better picture on a 1080p set. But I doubt you'll see much difference. The jump from 480P (standard def movies) to 720P/1080i is staggering. The jump from there to 1080p is real, but not by the same factor. And depending upon the size of your set, viewing distance, quality of the source material and your own eyesight, you may not see any of the extra resolution on a 1080p set vs a 720p/1080i set. It depends on these 4 variables, and its not an easy answer. If your sitting more than 10 feet away from a 50 inch set, you're not going to be able to see the difference between 1080p and 720p/1080i. But on a 60 inch set, you might.

Blueray should look spectacular on your HDTV.

Exactly. That is why I think Skin and others are full of shit unless they've got some really big ass TVs.

Keep in mind that there could differences in eyesight or source material skewing individual results.

[SkinBasket]

I stand corrected, then. You should notice an ever so slight difference that one could only decipher if they had picture perfect vision. I guess I'm an idiot for joining the masses who think 1080p is ridiculous, makes most sources look like shit, am smart enough to know it won't be broadcasted until your panel is outdated, etc.

On a side note, maybe you can use my tax dollars your two daughters are stealing on some more video games that you can play during the day instead of working. Must be nice to live a life of luxury while your wife slaves away at a lawfirm.

Partial. You are right. You are an idiot. Refer to previous post about talking about shit you don't know anything about. I can tell they taught yo everything you need to know about 1080p at Sears.

I know it's hard for you to go 3 days without making yourself look like a more ignorant asshole lately, but I'm all for you continuing to make an effort at improvement. Go for 4 days. Then we'll see if you can make 5, cupcake.

Go rest up for your hard knock life, Partial. Poor, poor Partial. I'll pray to Ron Paul to save your tortured soul tonight.

Not cool. What's up with all the low blows lately?

Seriously Partial, you are young and you are stepping on ground you know nothing about...with not being married and having small children. To have one parent home with the kids before they are in school is priceless. Trust me...just to try to accomplish that we worked opposite shifts and that was rough on the marriage. I feel you will change your tune when/if you have a child and you will have more respect for those that do stay at home and care for the kids.

Partial thinks he's 5'11" so he considers the blows above the waist.

I am referencing where Skin accused me of "stealing" his tax dollars despite him not having a real job. He says he worked 6 years, I am 22 and put in more years of work than him!!

Skin talked about how I should work at my job, and talked about how busy he is and how he maybe has 5 minutes a day to himself to post. 15-20 posts a day later typically spread out over 15-20 minute periods which he can read threads disagrees with his bullshit lies.

I don't have any problems with how the idiot chooses to live his life, its when he accuses me of stealing his tax dollars that gets me.

I actually got measured the other day at the doc and I was 5'10" without shoes.

Whaa wa!!!

I told your confused ass I worked the SAME job for 6 years (OMG!!!! 3 of those years full time while a double major STUDENT at a real university!!! OMG! OMG! OMG!! What a hard life!!!) and that I had worked since I was 12.

...Says the guy with 10,000 posts. You sure know a lot about my life Partial. In fact, it's a little more than creepy how close attention you're paying to me lately, without knowing the particulars about what's happening in my life... or do you? Was that Daddy's Lexus outside the house this weekend? You're like a stalker without the sexual MO. It's a little flattering, but mostly just annoying. Funny, but annoying.

You want fair taxes, yet you avoid paying every penny you can while trying to talk past the silver spoon in your mouth. You seem to think you have a better claim to my family's money than we do. You're logic is repulsive and belies your racist, misogynistic, elitist nature. Quite a resume for an intern from UWM.


BTW, my doctor told me I'm 6'4", but I was standing on my cock at the time.



Partial says Grrrr!!!

[MJZiggy]

I'd say something, but Skin would yell at me for being too mean again...

Fuck it. I think I'm done defending Partial's delicate manhood.

I wasnt even drinking milk and some just shot out my nose.

On the topic at home that was deviated away from (I know shocking right?)

720p and 1080i broadcasts from Charter cable are craptactular in comparison with a bluray at 1080p. Its sorta like you had a film over your eyes before and now its gone. I've watched 4 movies this weekend and they were all incredible.

Older HD movies were encoded to shit because no one knew what to expect and everything at 720p is so much cleaner than SD.

My friend has a 47" 1080i and I have a 47" 1080p. He has a PS3 as well. Both hooked up HDMI There's a difference. Is it substantial enough to warrant a new TV? Well I guess that depends on how much money you make. Also 1080i will only do 1340x768 resolution when hooking up a computer, where the 1080p will do 1920x1080.

On the subject by the resident old fucker, HH how are playing games any less worthwhile than watching a TV show or a movie? I'd say I actually have a sense of accomplishment when finishing a game. No one of your generation and not that many of the generation after you play games. Lets just say that your opinion on the subject is skewed. I'm sure you hated it when 'talkies' hit the screens. Silent film was just fine.

Hard to say if its a fair comparison. Cable and satellite broadcasters are compressing their HD signals. You actually get a better signal with a good over the air antenna.

[Partial]

Zool, out of curiosity have you tried a blu-ray at 720p compared to a blu-ray at 1080p? Broadcast HD doesn't look as great as Scott said. I'd be curious to know if you can legitimately tell the difference. Everything I have read has made it very clear the difference is damn near impossible and with the blu-ray hooked up to some 720p and 1080p sets at Sears I cannot tell a difference.

When you switch to HD, do the HDTVs get better actual reception than their non-HD counterparts? Obviously the picture quality is far superior, but do you get a better signal?

Those games are mind numbing. A good movie stimulates imagination, makes you think. Or laugh, or cry if an animal dies.

Maybe there are some video games that require some creativity. What I've seen is just repetitive crap. They are glorified pinball machines.

I think activities that you remember enrich your life, that's a good test.

I can't say what the video game experience is for you. And I really don't think less of people who amuse themselves with video games. It just looks awful to me, I don't get it.
