I can&#39;t say why that would be, but I would say that for many reasons it&#39;s not a worthwhile investment.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/172067.aspxMon, 05 Jan 2009 17:40:51 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:172067moxxey0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/172067.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=172067<BLOCKQUOTE><div><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"> <strong>Noelke:</strong></div><div><p>Does it make sense to invest in a Blu-Ray player when it is connected to an Avant RF 100hz?<br />Will it clearly show a better picture&nbsp;quality?<br /><br />A CRT based TV has just 576 image lines while Blu-Ray/HD&nbsp;has a minimum of 720 image lines.

The picture quality will be more vibrant than a standard definition disc. However, I doubt whether the image will be better than an SD DVD on your TV. ie. the improvement will be negliable.</p><p>Blu-ray discs are very expensive and, here in the UK, rarely discounted by much. For example, I was in Zavvi (www.zavvi.co.uk) at the weekend and many recent SD DVDs were &pound;3.99 each. Blu-rays were &#39;discounted&#39; down to &pound;14.99 for the same movie. I ended up with five SD DVDs at &pound;2.99 and &pound;3.99 each. I figured the same Blu-rays were &pound;75!</p><p>I only buy Blu-ray discs if I know I&#39;ll want to keep the film and I&#39;ll watch it more than twice. If not, &pound;15 each time is an expensive purchase. <br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/172063.aspxMon, 05 Jan 2009 17:34:28 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:172063Noelke0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/172063.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=172063<p>Does it make sense to invest in a Blu-Ray player when it is connected to an Avant RF 100hz?<br />Will it clearly show a better picture&nbsp;quality?<br /><br />A CRT based TV has just 576 image lines while Blu-Ray/HD&nbsp;has a minimum of 720 image lines.
