| hanafuda said: If no one cared then surround sound systems and high range TVs would not exist. Only they do. Anyway, I'm not talking about surround, I'm talking about overall sound quality. Furthermore, Blu-ray does have better ease of use than DVD. I take it you don't actually own a Blu-ray setup or you wouldn't have made such a comment. Your opinion is fine, but know where you should draw the line. Also. mod or not, you are a Sony hater, and this rather lame article is nothing more than flamebait. Why even post it if your opinion of Blu-ray is so negative?? |
You are absolutely correct. You, me, and a whole lot of other people really care about audio and video quality when we're watching a movie... that's why we spend thousands building home theaters. 
Sadly, we're a small minority compared to the people who don't care about widescreen, 5.1/6.1/7.1 sound, HD, etc. Most consumers just want to click on the TV, switch channels, and watch a show. My wife doesn't like watching TV movies in surround on our Yamaha receiver because the dynamic range is too broad. She just wants the sound through the TV (fortunately I have our DVD/HD-DVD setup configured so we have to watch through the receiver 
).
My sister-in-law used to complain when we would bring over laserdisc movies in letterbox, because it didn't use the entire screen. Arrggg.
