View Full Version : Washington Times '300' on HD-DVD is a winner -Yogi- 08-23-07, 03:53 AM http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070823/ENTERTAINMENT/108230061/1007 cybereality 08-23-07, 04:02 AM ... HD-DVD is a winner It has begun. JeffY 08-23-07, 05:32 AM Pity they don't understand that 1080i and 1080p are the same thing when feeding film based material to a 1080p display. In fact didn't Toshiba get the 1080p wrong on the A20? FrancescoP 08-23-07, 06:41 AM It has begun. The tides are turning! :D thebland 08-23-07, 07:19 AM The tides are turning! :D No not really.... From the article, 1st paragraph: The war between competing high-definition formats continues with HD-DVD still losing ground to its archrival, Blu-ray, in both sales and retailer outlets, but the conflict is still a long way from over. Sounds like my own editorial..:D eecubed 08-23-07, 12:44 PM Pity they don't understand that 1080i and 1080p are the same thing when feeding film based material to a 1080p display. In fact didn't Toshiba get the 1080p wrong on the A20? Most displays (and devices) do not deinterlace 1080i well and will often bob to 540P. They do a better job deinterlacing 480i but even then, many will not do a 100% job. If you have a 1080p display, then buy a 1080P player.

Cause you know, this forum is the place most of that stuff was discovered. briankmonkey 08-23-07, 12:54 PM No not really....

They also didn't talk about the 7x or so players it took BD to get to more sales, but I do think the actual disc is more important at this point as if BD was selling as well as you and others claim, this would be over. Boohoo-ray 08-23-07, 07:24 PM Did they mention the numbers sold on blu-ray compared to hd dvd for that movie :p Wow, .002% instead of .001% of disc sales, braggable! javayoda 08-23-07, 07:43 PM It's the same encode right? |
