blu ray player grainy picture image
J K
I am using the blu ray on a samsung 1080p 40" lcd I saw the same tv in best buy with blue ray and it looked like I could grab what was in the screen. But at my house it does not look any better than the samsung dvd upconverter.
I am also usong HDMi cables
Answer
3 things it could be,
1: the cable, You do need an HDMI cable to connect from the Blu-Ray to the TV and only the HDMI. Sometimes people connect the HDMI and the other cables. Then they don't realize that they are watching through the lower grade cables. and contrary to popular belief there are differences in the image quality between cables. If it is a short run it shouldn't hurt you too badly.
2: the settings. Make sure the output resolution is 1080P to get your best picture. The BD player has lower resolution settings in case your TV can't handle it's highest resolution. You need to change the resolution to 1080P during the setup or with the HDMI or resolution button.
3: The movie. While BD is certainly capable of much better picture quality than DVD, some movies don't look so much better. Sometimes it's on purpose, like a grainy effect to give the movie a grittier feel. Sometimes it's an older movie that wasn't filmed that well to begin with. Or sometimes it's just a bad transfer from film to digital. Try the movie UltraViolet for some of the cleanest, and sharpest lines and most vibrant colors to be sure.
hope this helps.

Is a 1080p resolution way better than 720p?

I want to buy a flat screen tv, and a 720p is cheaper, but I am thinking long term. I have an xbox 360 and I hear the games are in 720p, but again, I'm thinking long term.
Answer
In order to see any difference between 10801 and 720, you would need to have a set about 50" and be sitting about 5' away from the set.
If you sit further away and/or your set is smaller than 46"-50" you will not see any difference in the two resolutions.
It is like looking at a billboard from the highway. The picture looks crisp and clear because you're 300-400 feet away from the picture. If you ever see them preparing to "hang" the pictures on those boards, up close they are so grainy that you can't even tell what the picture is.
Kind of like looking at the Sunday comics with a magnifying glass. The farther away you are, the less resolution you require to see a great picture. The smaller the area, the less resolution you need to produce a great picture. The 1080 and 720 represent the number of vertical lines (rows from top to bottom) of pixels that make up the picture on the TV. 1080 = 1920x1080 pixels. 720 = 1280x720 pixels. The last number is always the vertical resolution while the first is the horizontal (columns from left to right ) resolution.
Multiply the two to get the total pictures on the screen. 1080=2,073,600 pixels while 720=921,600 pixels. So if your screen is very large, then you need more pixels to fill the screen to make it look good.
Eventually, of course, manufacturers will completely phase out 720p TVs. But it may take a few years. 720 is a little cheaper to produce, so that is the resolution in most budget sets.
The only pure 1080p content comes from high definition Blue-ray DVD's on a Blu-ray player via an HDMI connection.
