A survey published last week revealed that 55% of Americans who have HDTV don’t know what Blu Ray is. Of those who did know, just 9% plan on buying a Blu Ray player anytime soon.
Considering that Blu Ray and HDTV go together like french fries and ketchup, it’s a shame people aren’t more aware of - and more enthusiastic about - the new DVD format. Unless you only ever rent movies from iTunes or have no interest in films whatsoever, it’s hard to avoid ads for Blu Ray movies in every video store on and offline. There can’t be many stores wihtout a small but prominent Blu Ray section, and I’ve seen more than one confused customer try to check out a Blu Ray disc when they don’t have the capacity to play it.
In short, it’s worth learning what Blu Ray means. And if you have splashed out big bucks on a high definition (HD) television, it’s worth thinking about investing in a Blu Ray DVD player.
Carry on over the cut to learn what Blu Ray is, and why you might want it…
