thanks dear, I learn something new every day from the folks here..

I'm very happy with the T.V. spent a little more than I wanted, but not too bad...I got a bigger screen for the same price of some of the bigger name brands for a 32"..

and like other things...the bigger the better.........................:eek:did I just say that....:laugh2:

Blu-ray Disc



Blu-ray Disc

Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.

HD-DVD failed though. It would be like calling a VCR a Beta.
