Idolmaker asked:
I have just aquired a large screen tv and I will watch lots of movies on it but should I purchase a blu ray disc player or should I continue with my dvd player? I don’t want to replace my library of dvds.

I can barely see the difference. It’s a better quality movie. I guess if you want to spend the $300 for the player it would be worth it. FYI, I blue ray player will also play your DVD Movies.
Just keep your old DVD player. Blu ray is better quality and definition, But you’re gonna spend a lot of money replacing those other movies.
Standard dvd players use 480p disks and that’s the max resolution they can display.
You don’t say what resolution your tv has, but if it’s 1080p, then you should get a Blu Ray player as it’s disks are 1080p and therefore you see a much clearer picture.
Even tho your tv will upscale the 480 signal from the dvd player, it will use a fill in the lines methods and the pic will not be clear.
Blu ray players can play regular dvds so you will be able to use your collection.
Tex gave a great answer – but let me add some warnings:
“I have just aquired a large screen tv …”
Is this a HDTV or a standard def Rear Projection TV?
A BluRay player will work on both – but you will not see the glorious high-def video on a standard def ‘big screen’. It’s almost NOT worth buying a blu ray player unless you have an HDTV.
blue ray is high def and comes in a lot clearer
