Because Bluray is too expensive and frankly the picture quality isn't a leap like VHS to DVD was. DVDs quickly dropped to VHS like prices too, and budget price DVDs lower than VHS ever were. Bluray has forever been more expensive than DVD.
If I buy a movie, I still buy it on DVD. |
Do you have eyes? Lol on my 60" Plasma (not even brand new, it's a few years old now, Kuro Elite) the difference is LUDICROUS. 720x480 vs 1920x1080, and the sound quality. Yeesh.
On a 32" 1366x768 "720p" TV, the difference isn't too big. But any decent recent 1080p TV the difference is nuts.

Not a leap like VHS to DVD.

So. It doesn't have to be to be justified for some. How much of a relative jump of personal preference varies from person to person.

This is correct. It is a huge jump but most just do not care. I care on games but not shows/movies
Also why do people thing 1366x768 is 720p. 1280x720 is 720p..... I have only seen that here lol

Nobody with a brain thinks that 1366x768 is 720p. (that's why the 720p in my post was in quotes)
BUT, a huge number of TVs sold as '720p' are actually 1366x768 panels. It results in even worse picture quality than a straight up 1280x720 screen would be. What sucks is that there are also TVs that are 1024x768 that are sold as 720p as well. Very misleading, and interestingly they probably account for a lot of people that think that Bluray is not much better than DVD.
MILLIONS of those crappy TVs were sold over the last decade, so it's pretty easy to see where some bad ideas come from.
