https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargainJust stumbled across this Blu Ray player. I was going to get a Blu Ray drive for my PC but now I'm tempted to get this instead!http://www.richersounds.com/product/blu-ray/sony/bdps360/sony-bdps360-r2I think it got 5* from What Hi Fi magazine as well.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062318#418062318Hearts, Blu Ray is just the disc format. On Blu Ray discs you get HD pictures. These tend to be 1080p which is higher quality than the signal that Sky HD broadcasts in.But, you do need a 1080p capable TV to be able to get the full effect.Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:52:44 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062302#418062302Shrew thats what confused me,HD on sky is the dugs ** and he is saying there is something better out there ?Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:45:14 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062278#418062278Doesn't Sky HD broadcast in 1080i as well. Sorry Hearts if I'm losing you! :)Hearts, just imagine watching your favourite films in quality just like or better than the golf on Sky HD. Of course you will need a 1080p TV to do this.Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:30:42 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062262#418062262thnxSun, 27 Dec 2009 14:44:23 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062258#418062258if the disc plays in 1080p format then yesSun, 27 Dec 2009 14:44:01 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062254#418062254Ricardo I think sky HD is brilliant,are you saying blu-ray is better ?Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:39:22 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062246#4180622461280x720=720p1920x1080=1080p just like your pc monitor higher resolution means more detail as there are more pixels,Sky doesnt go any higher than 720p, blu ray can play as high as 1080p,any blu ray disc you buy tells you on the back what format it ruSun, 27 Dec 2009 14:38:09 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062238#418062238I'm confused :(Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:26:13 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062234#418062234I was talking about discs. You're getting an HD signal for your Sky. Blu Ray is a high def format for watching films. It'll be the same picture quality (generally) as your Sky HD signal.Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:14:28 -0600https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23429818/blu-ray-player-bargain?post_id=418062230#418062230Sky HD only runs at 720p,most blu ray discs use 1080p(higher resolution=better picture)Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:12:56 -0600
