0 Blu-Ray 101

Every number of years a different technology dramatically changes the way we experience home cinema. DVDs brought us far better picture and sound than VHS tapes, along with scene by scene access and extras like director commentary-all at a durable, not difficult to store format. Now, with the popularity of Harley-davidson Televisions (HDTVs), Blu-ray players and discs are delivering another wave of innovation in home based entertainment.

What the heck is Blu-ray?


Blu-ray is usually an optical disc format familiar with store high-definition video plus games. These discs are definitely the next-gen of DVDs delivering Full HD display quality because they appear and feel as though standard DVDs, they are really as simple to implement. Perhaps bare in mind, the menus offer a similar experience for formats, and Blu-ray Players can playback your complete library of silver discs if they are CD or DVD.

Better Picture

Blu-ray discs build the absolute best display quality on an HDTV-even as good as HD satellite or cable broadcasts. They have got as many as seven times the resolution of DVD. Merely put, everything looks sharper-details for example hair and skin, patterns on clothing in addition to faces of people without anyone's knowledge can be shown razor sharp. Also, Blu-ray discs provide considerably more accurate color which creates richer, more lifelike pictures that feel almost three-dimensional (even without 3D technology).

Better Sound

Blu-ray has gotten the home multichannel sorround sound systems capabilities first heard and felt from DVD to another level. Its high capacity format enables more depth of sound and superior support for extra speakers. The various new multichannel formats supported on Blu-ray, which include Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, are simply a bit like the unique sound delivered to theaters. So your only limitation around the quality of sound has to be your home theater system or TV. And with home entertainment systems available today in almost every size and cost range, it's increasingly simple to buy a new equipment and acquire an even more theatrical experience in the home.

The ins and outs

Vehicles are the same orientation as DVDs, everything about Blu-ray discs continues to be redesigned:

Newer laser technology for greater capacity - Blu-ray uses blue lasers, which have a narrower beam as opposed to red lasers in DVDs, giving them roughly five times the capability of DVDs within the same sized disc.

Different materials - Blu-ray discs are more than a harder, even more scratch resistant plastic for better reliability.

Tough one video compression - the details stored on Blu-ray discs uses up to date video compression, packing much more information in the same space without noise or video artifacts from the picture.

Special Features

Although we've arrive at expect video extras including commentary and -making of- content from DVDs, select Blu-ray players offer innovative new features that really help the studios get us within their shows and movies in entirely new ways-like extra audio tracks and video overlays with additional content which can be tightly related to what on earth is on the screen.

Apps: Transcend the Disc

Newer Blu-ray players connect with the web to look beyond the belongings in Blu-ray discs and support Apps for streaming video on demand from the net for example Netflix, Blockbuster, and Hulu.

Various supported apps include customized internet radio from Pandora, news and weather apps from sources which include AccuWeather and also BBC. Support for applications relies upon the model on the Blu-ray player, but apps are quickly becoming a standard feature that can bring great convenience and selection towards the content the fingertips.

What you want

In most cases, you will realize a huge benefit in picture should you be watching Blu-ray on any HDTV. Just the thing you must ensure should you be shopping for a Blu-ray player for any slightly older HDTV that the player and television have matching connections.

TV with HDMI or Component Input

Blu-ray and HDTVs were literally designed for oneself. One of the best and best method to get in touch a Blu-ray player into a TV uses an HDMI connection, that gives good quality signal more than a single cable by using a flat end. All Blu-ray players have HDMI outputs and all of newer HDTVs have HDMI inputs.

Without having an HDMI input for your HDTV, part input is really an older option which sometimes still provide excellent HD quality from your player. Component video connections use three round cables with red, blue, and green ends together with one another. Any HDTV without HDMI has one of these component inputs. If you want to begin using a component reference to your TV, guantee that the Blu-ray player you acquire provides a component output (some newer Blu-ray players don't).

A Broadband (Dsl or cable) Web connection

As mentioned above, the most recent Blu-ray players are meant to a lot more than internet, with special internet-connected features on certain discs, and support of video streaming along with other apps. Beyond those features, Blu-ray discs featuring new software or features sometimes require players to update themselves on line. If your dsl or cable modem is just not near your TV to earn a cable connection convenient, find Blu-ray players with internal Wi-Fi, which could connect to the home wireless network having a minimum of effort.

Generation x is here

To summarize, Blu-ray could be the high definition alternative to DVD, and takes full advantage the capabilities of HDTVs as well as the internet to generate better car stereo with better content, more features, and greater convenience.

If you happen to own or are looking for an HDTV, take into consideration that an innovative Blu-ray player to help the newest best picture and sound quality available, one of the best special features and the convenience of internet-based streaming video.
