Blu Ray Technology

Archive for March 13th, 2010

I am trying to install a Samsung Blu-Ray and a Toshiba HDDVD player into a high end home theater. We are using a McIntosh Controller to switch HDMI inputs going to a 1080p projector. The issue we are having is that the resolution on both the Blu-Ray and HDDVD keeps changing from 1080p to 720p everytime we switch sources on the McIntosh. Does anyone know of an issue with HDMI and Blu-Ray / HDDVD players and being able to maintain the set resolution? If there is a problem, does anyone know of a work around?

my plasma is 780p, can I watch a Blue Ray DVD on my TV? or do I need a 1080p TV to watch Blue Ray DVD’s. I know I need that Blue RAy DVD Player.

Which is better, HD DVD or Blue RAy?? is there a differnece?

write more detail for me, thanks!!

I have a Yamaha HTR-5990 receiver. Trying to hook a Samsung Blueray player
to the receiver using HDMI wire. The HDMI output from the receiver then
goes to my Samsung LCD 55″ flatscreen. The DVD’s play perfect going through
my receiver but the streaming movies from Netflex have a horrible picture
with a bunch of waves going through it. I have allready ruled out Netflix
and my internet connection. If I hook the blueray directly to the
flatscreen the picture is fine but this kind of defeats the purpose of
having a receiver. Is this a compatiblity issue with the receiver and
streaming videos and is there a conversion cable of some sort that I need to
purchase? Thank you in advance.
I ruled out the connection because the Netflix streaming works fine if I go from the blueray directly to the TV. The picture is clear. However if I go through the receiver first and then to the TV the picture is distorted.

I want to buy a DVD player for my HD-TV but I don’t know whether I should get an HD-DVD player or a Blue Ray DVD player.

Samsung: Innovation Sells in a Recession
The budding, 3D light-emitting diode (LED) TV category is about to get a blast of advertising from Samsung. The leading TV maker this week unveiled its largest marketing campaign for the launch of new 3D LED television sets. (Rival Panasonic rolls out a similar product this week.)

I’d like some help deciding what’s the best option for browsing the internet, downloading Netflix movies, Itunes movies, storing movies, playing blueray, etc. Can Xbox do all this? What about Apple TV? Can I just buy a computer with a blue ray player and HDMI output?

What options do I have and what’s the best way to go? H

How can I connect TVs in several rooms to this also?

Ok I’m putting together a new laptop and although I have decent experience with computers, just wondering if I opt for a blu-ray drive will I still be able to use DVDs and play DVD-ROM games?

Thanks
Jonathan

its kind of a silly question but i want to know what titles are out on blue-ray (all)
thanks
