| 734348 | 2009-01-02 06:18:00 | I bought David Attenborough's "Planet Earth" 5 disc set in Blu-Ray for Christmas. Well, what really happened was that I had been given a few Whitcoulls vouchers and I just made up the $20 difference. The box set cost $99, less their special discount of $30. People have talked about the quality and how wonderful Blu-Ray is and my opinion is just that. - It is stunning!!! Price of Blu-Ray discs is the only problem but at $70 for a 5 disc set, I suppose the price wasn't bad. At least comparable to SD DVDs. I played it on a PS3 via HDMI to a 32" Phillips LCD. That is my lot though. I only am interested in Doco stuff and that is the only BD doco I have seen. So, if you are looking at Blu-Ray for a brilliant razor sharp picture, and haven't made up your mind... Go to it!!!!!!! Ken :thumbs: |

At 32" or even 42" you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a 720p picture and a 1080p picture. Unless your nose is touching the screen :p |

Unless your nose is touching the screen :p nope 1. u are so close to the screen that everything is a blur 2. u won't c much of the screen the blur+ squinting+ plus a normal 1080i TV will have 100Hz so evry thing will be too fast+ the backlight will be too strong and you will be blind! now u can't even tell which tv is the 720p and which is the 1080i :lol: |

| 734356 | 2009-01-02 19:42:00 | Great about the smoking. I quit in the '80s after 30 or so years of 40/50 a day of the foul things. I started at 11 and within a year was on 10 a day. Normal behaviour in those days when smoking was accepted by society. I have always paid myself a small weekly allowance - cigarette money - to keep me off them. This has funded my earlier photography hobby then computers. Keep at it!! :banana:banana Ken |

| 734357 | 2009-01-02 20:01:00 | I hired the planet earth dvd last week fantastic i thought so very colourful i was playing it on a normal panasonicedvd recorder with hard drive using the dvd player very very clear, not sure if i will get a blu ray player or not yet very hard to tell the diff between blu ray and normal dvd via hdmi cable which i have seen in the shops, Just bought a 42 inch panasonic plasma viera tv and the pictures are razor sharp even without a blu ray player would there be much difference do you think. | Hitech (9024) | ||
