DVD & Blu Ray players

   For info: TV's have got bigger, so to give a decent picture from a normal PAL 625 line signal
  (the type we have been watching for the last 40 odd years) it has to be upscaled to give a HD look (i.e. up to 1080 lines)

    
   A Blu Ray disc has a proper HD recording on it - i.e. up to 1080 lines of information - but to play this type of disc you need a Blu ray player

   So if you have a large screen TV - then Blu Ray is for you - If you have a small screen or older TV then a standard DVD will be fine.
   However a Blu Ray will also play standard DVD discs so if you think you may want a large screen TV soon then consider Blu Ray now.
