Is it worth buying a Blu Ray player?

Lewis

Downstairs we have a 37" full HDTV and Sky HD. I've seen HD movies on Sky HD but not Blu Ray movies on it. I think HD isn't that good and is overrated. I'm getting a 32" Full HDTV and I'm wondering if it's worth getting a Blu Ray player.

The bottom line is - is Blu Ray better than HD?

Answer
Movies on Blu-ray discs are encoded at 1080p so they aren't "better than HD", they ARE in HD.

Does it make sense to get a blu-ray player?

In your case, probably not. On screens smaller than 40", you're going to hard pressed to distinguish between an upscaled DVD movie and the same movie on blu-ray.

Do get an upscaling DVD player and DO connect it to your TV with a HDMI cable. This will give you near-HD quality and will probably look nearly identical to a blu-ray.

What is a decent Blu Ray Player to buy?

Im looking for my first blu ray player. I would like wifi, but no 3d. Something that has decent loading speed. And I'd Like to keep it fairly cheap without sacrificing quality. Any suggestions?

Answer
Believe it or not the Sony PS 3 is still the buy in blu-ray players. It takes some time to properly setup all the audio video setting in the menu (which makes a big difference in the picture quality) but its a good player. You can set it up for auto-play just insert and starts playing. The only other thing is it uses a bluetooth remote which must be purchased separately.
