Blu-ray is equivalent to watching something when you had CGA graphics to what you now see using VGA.
Or, a better example, is what you had when using daguerreotype camera systems for photography to what you now have using digital photography cameras at 20+MB pixels.
That can be appreciated only if your eyes are of the type that do not find most web sites specify mousetype instead of legible text. For those with visual acuity half or less than they had as teenagers, any quality beyond about 480 tends to be undiscernable unless the TV is twice recommended size for seating distance, or bigger. IOW, for many, DVD quality is as good as can be fully appreciated.
True. Some people go thru life not even knowing that their sight is not 20/20 and therefore accept what they see - or don't see because they don't see it - as being normal and what everybody else is also seeing. As we age the lenses in our eyes, for example, become affected by ultraviolet rays and they start to see things in a sepia colour. But when the lenses are replaced, thru cataract surgery, EVERYTHING you see then becomes CRYSTAL clear and BLUISH in colour ) I guess because of the ultraviolet rays). I know, been there, done that. And as far as the TV or even the monitor is concerned, the last 2 monitors I have used had 1920x1080 resolution and were only capable of handling sRGB colours. My new 27" monitor handles 2560x1440 resolution and 99% of the full Adobe colour range (some 1.07 billion 10-bit colours). If you think that this does not make a difference to what appears on the screen, then try and see for yourself.
