Great Quality and True HD Video with Blue Ray DVD players
Blue ray is the most modern disk player on the market delivering 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 contain more data. Up to 50GB of data can be included on 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 capacity of the disk, but what the additional bytes brings to the user. The current storage of blue ray disks is just enough to contain high-definition video. With HD standards having a baseline of 720p (for 720 lines of progressive scanning), this is four times more video content than the common DVD. The clear contrast can be seen with HD video monitors larger than 21 inches. The shades are sharper and with more clarity inimage with HD compared to common TV images.
Although 720p is the baseline quality, the newest blue ray DVD players are capable of 1080p, and future developments are also slated to handle higher video quality.
Blue ray also includes specifications for audio. Up to 8 channels of audio are specified in the standard set up for HD hardware, that includes cables, connectors, monitors, projectors and specially blue ray DVD players.
Sony blu-ray dvd players which are on sale at present may be a somewhat more expensive than regular DVD players, but with the mandated phase out of analog standards, digital video is expected to pump the sales further.
