i have a 47 inch phillps full hd 1080p but i dont think dvds look very good especially compared to sky hd. is blue ray much better? worth getting? will it make normal dvds much better?

please help
i paid 2000 for it just under a year ago
thanks teresa ill take your advice
 
yes. they are much better.
better than sky hd.
how much did you pay for your tv?
BRplayers are like 70 quid.
just get one.
 
Blu-ray is.... incredible. I have a 1080p Computer monitor, and I do have a blu-ray player in my computer. And I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and it has the DVD and Blu-ray version, and I put the Blu-ray in my player, and the DVD in a standard DVD player, and played them side-by-side just because I was curious, and it's amazing how bad the quality of a DVD is compared to a Blu-Ray movie. Again, this is on a computer, side-by-side comparison (no distortion due to the screen, they both were properly fitted to ensure fairness) with the Blu-Ray in a Blu-ray drive and the DVD in a normal average DVD player, and the DVD quality was just awful. It was, compared to the blu-ray, like watching it through a layer of mud.

So yes, Blu-rays will look amazing if they're blu-rays and if your Blu-ray player is decent and your TV is 1080P. As far as normal DVD's a lot of times the Blu-ray player will try to upscale the DVD to the proper format, so it won't look better.... but it probably won't look much worse either. Again, if you get a blu-ray player, just start buying Blu-rays, not DVDs.

In time DVD's will be phased out to a point, and all movies will be available on Blu-ray instead of DVD, much like how DVD's phased out VHS.
