The Converging Network: Unleash the Blu-ray Hounds!

February 20, 2008

Unleash the Blu-ray Hounds!

Sonybdps300blurayplayer I only managed to keep my consumer electronics hormones in check for so long. I'm proud of myself for at least holding out for Blu-ray to win the high-definition format wars, rather than getting the dual format player I really wanted to talk myself into. I picked up a Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player. To solve the problem of no HDMI port, I found that Best Buy has HDMI-to-DVI cables and also DVI adapter plugs to place on the end of a HDMI-HDMI cable. Problem solved!

I'm happy to report the picture looks magnificent. Wow, what a difference. I tried both the composite cables at 1080i (interlaced) and the HDMI-DVI cables at 1080i (progressive scan) and there is a very noticeable difference. Now, I'm not going to rush out and replace movies I already have in DVD format, unless they are truly one of my very favorites, but that's not an immediate issue as Blu-ray movies are still rolling out.
