Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 24d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 04/04/13 10:08 AM Share Posted 04/04/13 10:08 AM Okay so recently we upgraded the TV to a Sharp LED Quattro thing.. With the TV I purchased a Blu ray player with a $200 HDMI cable to connect it up.. Cable was double the price of the player.. Yeah go figure..Anyhow my question is.. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need a decent home audio setup to fully appreciate Blu ray?I've got a massive DVD collection.. And Quite impressed with how the DVD looked on the TV (only watched The Expendables so far).. So out of curiosity I picked up Sherlock Holmes and Taken on Blu Ray.. I didn't really notice that much difference in picture quality.. Or do I have to watch a DVD of one movie then immediately follow it with the Blu Ray version to notice the difference?Do I need to try some other Blu Ray movies?

We got an LG Blu ray player with exactly that a 'monster' HDMI cable with some lifetime warranty etc..I guess it's not so bad since the price diff between BR and DVD discs isn't as much as a couple years back..But exactly that.. Feel a bit underwhelmed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 04/04/13 11:00 AM Share Posted 04/04/13 11:00 AM The DVD res is being upscaled for your tv. Natively DVD has a much lower resolution and doesn't have HD audio like bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio don't mean too much to me.. As most things I watch have subtitles.. Unless there are no other people in the house or neighbouring houses...Without sounding too picky... I just wanted to know if anyone was wowed by the picture quality first time they watched Blu ray?
