Introduction:DVD Players are among the highest-quality sources for video content in the home setting.There are two main types of DVD media: Standard DVD and Blue-Ray. Up until recently, there was a third competing high-definition format called HD-DVD. |
Standard DVD Players:Standard DVD players will play the majority of DVDs that are on the market. The native resolution of standard DVDs is 720p, which is less than what most of today's high-definition televisions are capable of reproducing. Some newer models have the ability "upscale" standard DVDs. This is thought to be preferable to letting the TV set itself do the upscaling.Brands we sell: Sony For more information on standard DVD players, see Wikipadia: DVD Player Blue-Ray DVD Players:The Blue-Ray standard was developed by the Blue Ray Disk Asociation, a consortium of manufacturers and content providers.Brands we sell: Sony For more information on Blue-Ray, see Wikipadia: Blue-Ray Disk HD-DVD:As you have probably already heard, Toshiba has conceded defeat to Sony's Blue-Ray format.For more information on HD-DVD, see Wikipadia: HD-DVD DVD Recorders, DVRs and HDRs:Stand-Alone DVD Recorders are available for all three formats.
