I bought an upconverting DVD recorder at Best Buy for $189, which makes regular DVDs look nearly like their in High Def on my nice High Def televsion set, and I can record stuff too.

 

And when Sony releases the PS3 with a bluray drive, the battle will be over.

 

$500 for a PS3 with a bluray drive vs $500 for an HD-DVD player? Which would you choose? Nevermind the fact that standalone Bluray players will cost $1000+

Actually, there's player now that'll handle both.

 

I hope Blu-Ray becomes Sony's next Betamax, though.

Has it been proven that he got that during the last hardcore discussion battle?

 

He IS from Rhode Island, and that kind of stuff just happens there.

From Broadcast Television HD Technology Update

 

The queue stretched around the specially assembled theater where Japan’s NHK demonstrated its 4320-line Ultra High Definition TV system last week in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during NAB2006.

 

Inside, visitors got an eyeful of what one-day may be the replacement system for today’s high definition television system. Developed by NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories, Ultra High Definition TV is intended to present images so real that they make viewers feel as if they are in the scene. The Ultra High Definition TV system relies on 32 million pixels — 7680 x 4320 — in a 16:9 aspect ratio to achieve that effect. The Ultra HDTV system relies on 22.2 multichannel sound consisting of three vertical layers of speakers to produce a 3-D soundscape to help pull viewers into the scene.

 

Before this technology ever makes it to the home — if in fact it ever does — it is likely to find applications in medicine, security, museums and exhibitions.

 

Perhaps Nigel Spratling, who ran the NAB-HD demonstration station during the convention, had the best perspective on Ultra HDTV. “I think it’s awesome,” he said. “I actually saw HD for the first time here at NAB in 1985, and then it was analog, of course, and at that time all of us who have an interest in the business saw it; loved it; everybody wanted it. We all knew we could do it, couldn’t afford it, it was going to be way too difficult, and then thankfully found out how to digitize stuff, and we can have HD at really low data rates.”

 

“At the moment, we can't afford their system for the Ultra High Def. We haven’t got the bandwidth for it, all of those kinds of things. But we will. So that’s cool. It’s the next thing to come along.”

 

I guess thats the next big thing..

 

Ultra HD!

I'll let Howstuffworks answer that..

 

My only complaint on the upconversion is that it makes crappy video quality worse, so for instance my older porn dvds are rendered unwatchable although the new stuff I just got is better...but commercial released DVDs of most mainstream movies..all that I have tried on it anyway, look better than a normal DVD but not nearly as good as actual HD.
