Bluray quality

[firutger]

DO you guys think bluray is the best or should I look only into 720p/1080p?

I typically stick to remux's for movies and yes you can easily tell the difference. It also depends on what your viewing it on. Most people have a 1080p viewing device I.E. a monitor, LCD/LED TV. On these you can easily notice less grain when watching a remux for example because of the untouched bitrate.

I don't think it makes a difference unless your TV is larger than 40".

But then for the time it takes to download BD movies, I can probably run out to have it rent.

Now where is it people are getting this "must have 40"/55" television" figure? I have a 102"* Da-Lite screen fed by an Epson 8350. While I do not feel the need for smooth-as-glass video, 720p rips are great and even 1.4GB files are very nice. I seldom download anything over 4GB.


*Which is not too far off from having 4 50" screens placed together.

I remember the first time I saw true 1080p- I was amazed.

I'm pretty sure most of that was in your head.

I should have mentioned that this was at the transition point between NTSC 525 lines and HD.

I think 720p is a good quality/size tradeoff for most viewing setups.

Hi,

As others have stated, a big part of it is how large your television is, and how close you sit to the TV. Generally speaking, with a 1080p file vs a 720p file you probably won't notice much difference.

Good luck!

Agree, it will totally depend on what you are viewing it on, sometimes on a smaller TV sitting in my lounge the quality doesn't need to be amazing for it to look good.

720p is what i usually go for, although i know people who will refuse to what anything that isn't 1080p (physiological thing maybe? )
