Blu-ray players are suppose to enhance the picture quality when watching a regular dvd. Is the quality really noticable or very little? Do you think purchasing a blu-ray player for the dvd enhancement is a good idea?
Answer
Grumpy Mac is right and wrong. Blu-ray players do a credible job of upscaling DVD and therefore improving the DVD image relative to a standard DVD player. They can't give you "real" HD. While upscaled DVD images are technically HD they can't contain all the information in a real HD image like Blu-ray.
That said, there are lot's of considerations to take into account before deciding to buy a Blu-ray player.
First, if you are going to continue to watch DVDs (and not buy or rent Blu-ray disks) you don't need a Blu-ray player ... you need an upscaling DVD player (it's about 1/3 the cost of a Blu-ray player).
Second, Blu-ray disks require a minimum moderate sized 1080p HDTV (e.g. 37" or larger) to provide maximum benefit. There is no advantage to Blu-ray (or an upscaling DVD player) on a standard TV.
Third, Blu-ray disks offer superior sound to DVDs because of advanced audio formats. ... but you must have a good audio system to hear the difference.
Fourth, Blu-ray disks are, and will remain, more expensive than DVDs. They are a premium priced (and performance) DVD alternative.
Fifth, unless you watch close enough to see the difference (many HDTV viewers sitt too far from the screen), Blu-ray won't look much better than DVD.
So ... a Blu-ray player is a good bet if you are comfortable paying extra for Blu-ray disks and intend to slowly switch to Blu-ray, but if you intend to stick to DVDs consider an upscaling DVD player instead. Just recognize that any improvement won't be startling.

Keep in mind that universal blu ray disc player are not very common. I only know of two brands that are some what reasonable, one is a Pioneer Elite with a price range of around $350 and make sure it is a universal (not all Elite players are universal). The other one is the OPPO 103 for around $510, which is also one of the very best player in the market. It also has many options for output connection and input. Then you have higher end brands thata are in the thousand of dollars (McIntosh $5,000). Hope this will help you out.
