Yajimari, I think also the fact you watched your DVD's on PS3 helps you think it doesn' look much better because DVD's on PS3 get upscaled to 1080p. And playing that particular Blu-ray will make you think it's not any better.
For an honest comparison you should turn off upscaling DVD before you compare it with Blu-ray visuals.
Some people said they didn't notice much of a difference from DVD to VHS, so to each his own. The average person just doesn't care either way, but eventually adopts whatever one else is doing, and then swears they could never go back.
300 is not the best movie to watch, but even in 1080i I noticed a big difference from the standard DVD. My eyes are pretty trained to notice it though.
The best looking discs I have seen are Ratatouille, Spider-Man 3, Blade Runner, and the Pirates of the Carribean movies.
The next two movies I am getting are Across the Universe and No Country for Old Men, both of which are supposed to have phenomenal picture quality.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Yeah, I've only tested the Pirates movies so far, and even my parents noticed a difference. I didn't think they would as they're the type of people that would say it looks the same if you can still see a face...they've never cared much about details. But as soon as my mom walked in and saw me watching Pirates, she was just like "Wow, that looks a lot better."
My dad just kind of walked in and sat down to watch it with us. And I asked him if he noticed a difference. He just kind of shrugged and said "I notice more details...that's about it." He didn't seem to be amazed, but he did notice the difference in detail.
Anybody tested out Saw IV yet? I love the Saw movies and just wondering if it's pretty good quality as well.

Not really on topic, but I must say; I can appreciate the sharp picture on a Blu-Ray movie, but whether or not the movie is any good is far more important to me. I've watched entire movies on YouTube and not really care.

Wow, you sure told me! Thank you for that amazingly enlightening response! I am completely pwned!
Honestly, if you aren't going to explain yourself, why do you even bother to respond? Try google-ing "3:2 pulldown" and see what you find. Or follow ferret1603's link, which is broken, but I've fixed the URL for you.

3:2 pulldown is really just framerate issues, isn't it? That doesn't mean that it's the same as 1080i. There is still the fact of only half the image being displayed at any given moment. No matter the frame, there will still be that blur in interlaced videos...1080p even in 3:2 pulldown displays the whole image on the screen at any given moment, so even with frame rate issues there won't be that blur effect from interlaced displays.

planet earth is definitely one of the best examples of what HD is all about, filmed with state of the art cameras intended for HD all along.
guys, also, saying 300 is a bad example isn't really doing it justice. it was filmed and presented in a particular way and style that transferred EXACTLY they way the director intended when he made it, so actually it comes across just as it should.
@stof, like many have said, you cannot judge based on the presentation in a store, the tvs are NEVER set up properly, there is WAY too much light, etc.
BTW, at Mr. Home Theater enthusiast, i guess you know that the true goal of any enthusiast is to replicate the theater going experience, which means HD(which has been in the theaters for over a decade), correct presentation, full surround that is as close as possible to the theater. calling yourself this, then downplaying HD's role makes your opinions seem foolhardy at best and inflammatory to some extent... or maybe i misread what you typed?

Well, obviously the display must support progressive scan. Otherwise, supporting 3:2 pulldown doesn't make sense. The point of 3:2 pulldown is to recreate full-frame, non-interlaced images from the interlaced signal when the source material is 24 fps. The display then shows the full frames all at once, not half and half. Just like it would if it were receiving a 1080p signal.
