blu ray player deals image
Seth B
Is there enough of a difference between the two to warrant buying a Blu-Ray player to play "true" 720p movies? Or is the difference not as large as between upconverted 1080p and Blu-Ray 1080p?
Answer
This depends a great deal on your specific hardware. BluRay at 720p is actually downconverted from 1080. DVD at 720p is upconverted from 480. Sometimes the conversion process alone introduces undesirable artifacts (esp. in fast motion or scenes with very little contrast or color differences). Generally BluRay, because of it's higher data rate and capture resolution is gonna look better regardless but will be really noticeable if you are projecting or using a large 50" or better TV capable of hi-def resolutions. If you are using a 40" 720p TV, I doubt that you will see a dramatic difference while sitting on the couch.
My Samsung BluRay player will upconvert my DVDs to 720p all day long. My TV is only capable of showing up to 720p and the player will upconvert DVD or downconvert BluRay as necessary (and both look about the same on my 36' 720p TV). Further DVD is not only 480p, many DVDs are 480i, but the player can display them as progressive scan (this is what the "P" stands for) with varying degrees of success
