Technology can sometimes be hard to keep up with! First there were VCR players that allowed for consumers for ht first time to bring home major movies and watch them in their own homes. Next up was the DVD players that not only allowed for movies to be watched, but music could be heard too. The DVD players showed the world a higher quality picture and sound than was ever achieved before.

Now we have moved onto a new era where blue ray technology and HDTV capabilities have once again shot us forward in the technology world. These players have the finest picture and sound that has yet to be created. Both types of players are becoming more and more popular, and many consumers are not really sure which recorder is the right one for them.

krieck — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:21:20 +0000

In the fast world of electronics and gadgets, upconversion vs. blueray is the latest controversial battle. These two powerful technologies have been very useful and remarkable in a lot of ways but belonging in the same category has placed them in a tight competitive situation. Will blueray finally replace upconversion or is it too sophisticated for the majority?

Upconversion Vs. Blueray Details

Blueray is an optical disc format originally developed by BDA or Blu-ray Disc Association which is a manufacturing group focusing on electronics, media and computers. The format was improved to allow recording, playback and rewriting of HD or high-definition video. Due to the use of blue-laser technology, storage capacity is significantly increased compared to conventional DVDs by up to five times more. There are single-layer discs that can store around 25 GB while a dual-layer disc can store twice as much.

Brand Name Trust with a Pioneer Blue Ray Player

krieck — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 00:58:25 +0000

One of the most trusted names in consumer electronics and home theater equipment, Pioneer now offers Blue ray players relatively cheaply, allowing consumers to rest assured that their next generation home theater experience is backed up by Pioneer’s expertise in designing top notch equipment. However, there are still many choices available to you when purchasing a Blue ray player. Do you want a stand alone player or one that fits into your PC? These options and more are available to choose from when purchasing a Pioneer Blue ray drive.

For Your Desktop

Pioneer Blue ray drives for your PC are a great way to watch Blue ray movies like 300 and Casino Royale on your computer. To get the full experience though, you’ll need a monitor that can support 1080p resolution, such as a 1080p television or computer monitor that has a resolution of 1920×1200 or 2560×1600. Even if you don’t have a monitor of that size, you can still watch movies with your Pioneer Blue ray drive, but the resolution will be scaled down. Also, many people prefer seeing images or movies at their monitor’s native resolution (the resolution that it is advertised at). While capable of displaying smaller resolutions, these are generally stretch and don’t result in nearly so good an image.

Blu-Ray Rebate Is Helping Beat Sales Of HD DVDs

krieck — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:53:44 +0000

There have been numerous indications that the success of the Blu-ray movie sales in the US can really be attributed to Blu-ray rebate coupons which have seen them lead to more sales than those of any HD DVD movies. In fact, according to studies conducted by market tracking agency known as Nielsen VideoScan, the sales of Blu-ray movies were far greater than those of HD DVD movies simply because Sony bundled some of their PlayStation 3 game machines with vouchers for Blu-ray discs as well as BD movie.

Unique Marketing Ploy

This unique type of marketing ploy has shown that Blu-ray rebate will succeed because there is nothing quite like getting the latest products at next to no cost and so there have been hundreds of thousands of Blu-ray discs being purchased every time the very popular PS3 gets to be sold. However, it is not merely the fact that Blu-ray rebate is causing people to jump onto the Blu-ray bandwagon because other factors too are playing a part.

krieck — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:03:51 +0000

One of the key companies in the development of the Blue ray disc format, Sony is also well known for its high end electronic equipment, such as cameras, computers, and televisions. With their next generation home video format, they have ushered in a new era of home theater video and audio clarity, quality that most people could find before only in new movie theaters. To get this quality and name brand trust for your own home theater, you’ll need to check out a Sony Blue ray DVD player.

Name Brand Trust

Sony is one of the premiere names in consumer electronics. For decades, they have produced much of the top quality electronics that many consumers enjoy, and their role in developing the Blue ray format cannot be understated. The Blue ray format is an evolutionary step over the DVD (digital video/versatile disc), with 10x the data capacity of its immediate predecessor. What this means is that you get more special features, digital surround sound audio, and amazing 1080p video that is nearly 7x the visual fidelity of DVD video. However, to enjoy Blue ray, you’ll want a Blue ray player, and at the top of that list are Sony’s Blue ray DVD players.

Before Upgrading Learn What Blue Ray Is

krieck — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 15:32:23 +0000

With the confusion over the current format war between HD-DVD and Blue ray, the average consumer is unlikely to know specific strengths and selling points for either of them. To learn what Blue ray is, you have to understand the technology that makes it work, what movie studios endorse this format, and some other points that will be covered below. Especially if you are looking to upgrade, you will definitely want to learn what Blue ray is to make an informed decision.

Red Versus Blue Lasers

When a person asks, “what is Blue ray?” they probably don’t know that the answer lies within the question itself. The average consumer is unlikely to be able to tell the difference between a Blue ray and DVD disc because they’re the same shape and size. However, a Blue ray player uses a blue (and violet) laser to record and read data, be it video, audio, or any other type of data found on optical media, hence the name “Blue ray.” Because the technological processes to achieve this require much smaller and finer equipment, the initial costs of Blue ray are higher than DVD’s. However, as the manufacturing process matures, the costs will come sharply down over the following years.

The Consumer Wins with HD or Blue Ray

krieck — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:58:48 +0000

Next generation home video format wars always end up confusing the consumer to start off, and it can take several years before one format gains dominance over the other. This was the case with the VHS versus Betamax format war, and thankfully the various companies quickly came together to develop the DVD, or digital video/versatile disc, so that became dominant with no competition. Unfortunately, various companies have banded together into two different camps, and now a new format war has been created where consumers are asked if they want HD or Blue ray, and many choose neither for now.

Making a Wise Investment

Through 2006 and 2007, people would have to choose to go with either HD or Blue ray on a relative whim as both offered about the same amount of movies from major movie studios. Near the start of 2008 though, Warner Bros. decided to go Blue ray exclusive, resulting in a majority of movies being released on Blue ray over HD-DVD, helping consumers to choose HD or Blue ray. While many people could argue the pros and cons of both formats, having two competing formats only ended up hurting everyone as companies released movies that nobody bought and consumers risked making a high definition movie player purchase only to find out that months later, no more movies would be released for it. By making most of the movies be released on a single format, movie studios help to ensure that consumers can choose HD or Blue ray without wasting their money.
