In recent times the popularity of Blu-ray discs has exploded. If the trend continues they are going to overtake DVDs within the next couple of years. Have you ever wondered why?

There are a few factors:

A DVD can display at 720 x 480 pixels while a blu-ray has a massive 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Of course, you will require a good quality HD Tv to appreciate this factor.


• much better audio quality - Blu-ray employs higher analysis sound formats to improve the audio experience. Add a surround sound system and your audio experience is on par with a motion picture theater.


• Functions and overall quality - Blu-ray discs (duel layered) can hold over 50 GB of info which is around 12 times as much as a regular DVD. When a motion picture is transferred to a regular DVD the image resolution and audio gets compressed so that it can fit on 1 disc. This results in a loss of overall quality. A issue that Blu-ray discs have solved. The elevated disc space has also permitted for the inclusion of more bonus Functions and additional subject material.

You must have all of the right pieces of equipment to be able to take complete advantage of what Blu-ray can offer.

If your Television does not meet these requirements you can still get some of the benefits from Blu-ray such as the additional content, but you ought to probably look at upgrading.
