I meant the original poster, and 1080i is no better than 720p.

37" LCD-- my PS3 is automatically set to output in 1080p.

 

I guess part of my point is that if you have to "hunt down" certain types of Blu-ray movies to REALLY see a difference, then there actually isn't that much of a difference at all, and the average consumer won't care until the price has come down considerably. I think that I'm just going to stick to DVD for now, but since I already bought Spiderman 3 in Blu, I might try it out in the next few days to have the true blu-ray ~*EXPERIENCE*~ (lol).

You have a 37" 1080p LCD TV and you can't tell the difference? WOW! You should notice a vast difference between the two, and my point was BD titles shot with film cameras have grains and don't look as good as titles shot with HD cameras. Roving Mars is a great movie to show case the beauty of 1080p.

Anyways, either the settings on your PS3 and TV are wack, or  you need glasses/contacts.

I thought 300 on HDDVD was very very good. I think it would be the same for BluRay. But I do have a nice HDTV

hm.. Actually, I have a question about high def. Why is it that when you go to an electronics store and see the displays of high def tv's playing high def movies; they all look like crap. And I'm not just talking about when the signal is split to 10 tv's, but even when you see the blu-ray (or hd-dvd), hooked up to the big shiny tv.

Everything always has this weird cubist painting look to it.

I really hate going to electronic stores for that very reason. And there are several reasons why you see it.
1. Customers screw with the settings on the tv's to make them look horrid.
2. The TV channels displayed are either not in HD or signal quality totally sucks.
3. The TV's have been damaged or have had pictures burned into them.
4. Bad connections, either between the HD player and TV or between the television source and TV.
5. The settings on the TV's are not optimized to look their best.
6. Damaged equipment.

I have a 42" plasma HD tv. Blu-ray looks awesome in it, the first movie i put on was Pirates of the caribbean 2:Dead man's chest, i was blown away by the visual quality.

If there was any misunderstanding, ALL movies on Blu-ray look wickedly awesome, just some better than others, like I said, movies shot with film cameras don't look as good as those shot with HD cameras.

It must have been, there is no way anyone could not see a huge difference between DVD and Blu-ray on a 1080p set unless they had vision problems.

Also, I'd suggest getting a nice surround sound system if you do not already have one, it really enhances the movie experience.

you want to see the difference between HD and DVD? watch a CGI cartoon

Ice Age 2 is a good one, the very beginning shows a zoom in on the squirrels face, and its absolutly stunning, even for ppl who are clueless on HiDef stuff
