Will I be able to notice the difference on a 24" TV when using a blu ray player?
Ben
I am considering buying a Blu ray player to use on a 24" 1080p TV, my question is will I be able to notice the difference or will it just be a waste of £75?
Answer
Not as simple a question as it sounds.
Quick answer ... Doubtful ... although if you sit close enough (less than 6') and have good eyesight you may see some slight improvement in picture sharpness. You will be getting a bit different colour to DVD too, but without an A/B comparison you probably won't notice.
To provide some data, a study done by Toshiba a few years back showed that about 25% of viewers so NO difference between DVD and Blu-ray of the same movie on identical 40" 1080p HDTVs, and a further ~25% saw slight differences, but not enough to justify the higher cost.
The reality is that Blu-ray CAN be a significant improvement on DVD under the right conditions, but many things can result in it being at best a slight improvement. Some things that bear on the issue: size and resolution of the display, viewing distance, eyesight of the viewer, how the display is connected (HDMI or other), how the DVD is played (good upscaling DVD players CAN give virtually an identical result to Blu-ray under some conditions), quality of the original material and how it was mastered (Some Blu-ray versions of movies are actually poorer than older DVD versions, at least to some viewers).
That all said, Blu-ray players are now relatively cheap, so IF you need a new player (i..e don't have an upscaling DVD player with HDMI output) a Blu-ray player is BOTH an upscaling DVD player and a Blu-ray player. This would be a good choice also if you buy movies and are considering whether to buy Blu-ay of DVD now. On the other hand if you rent movies and have a good DVD player and don't plan to upgrade your TV any time soon don't waste your money.
EDIT: Once again (sigh!) I have to disagree with Grumpy Mac. HD vs SD TV is NOT the same as DVD vs Blu-ray. The former is quite obviously different, while DVD, even on the most basic non-progressive DVD player will still look fairly close to Blu-ray quality on a 24" HDTV.
