Blu Wireless Technology
Have you visited a chum who had a home theater system and wondered how you could ever go home to your regular television set up? Well you are not alone. Technological advances have actually propelled home picture night into an entirely different experience. With large screens, high definition and surround sound who needs or wants to pay $15 for theater ticket, when you may have the same experience while relaxing on your couch with a gigantic tub of popcorn that doesn’t cost you $10!
With the economy in turmoil many of us just do not have the budget for pricey nights out for the family and home entertainment is one of the best and most acceptable options to alleviate those budget blues. And, people who cannot afford the full home theater setup can still enjoy great flicks in high-def with Blu-ray Hi-D video technology.
While for sometime Toshiba fought this format to become the standard with their HD-DVD format, that battle was lost and all studios, and major shops of films, such as Netflix, smash, Wal Mart and Best Buy are now selling only Blu-ray for high def.
The Blu-ray disk is named after the blue color laser that is used to create the disk. This format of disk is much hardier than DVD disks, and doesn’t degrade or scratch as simply as DVD disks and so they last much longer. The crisp picture quality and high resolution provides for the best in high-def viewing with clear and vivid picture standard as well as prime quality sound.
Blu-ray players come in several different models with varied price tags. They have features miles beyond that of DVD players. First, naturally is the benefit of high-def, but besides that there’s Bonus View and BD-Live, which many players come with.
The Bonus View features plays back picture-in-picture content, which allows for a second video and audio stream.
This is also superb for streaming movies at once to the player from video services like Netflix.
Another benefit is that DVD disks are compatible with and can be played on Blu-ray players, so your complete flick collection need not get replaced.
