Is Blu-Ray Just Hype to Spend More Money?


by: Dewayne Castillo

I recently had a customer, John, ask me about Blu-ray movies.  He was wondering if it was worth it for him to upgrade to a Blu-ray player for better viewing or was it just all hype to spend more money.

Well I have to tell you, it is worth it, but only if you have a high definition television.

John was wondering about this because he had just received a Blu-ray movie as a gift for the holidays from his family.  I was there setting up John’s fancy new notebook computer that just happened to have a Blu-Ray player.  Since this was a vacation home for John and he didn't watch many movies I didn’t recommend him purchasing a new Blu-Ray player, especially since he always has his notebook with him.

Since John had a high definition television with an HDMI port that was not being used, I plugged in an HDMI cable from the T.V. to the notebook and played his Blu-ray movie through his notebook onto his television.  It definitely looked much better than in his non-upconverting DVD player.  John was convinced now about the hype.

You too can use your notebook to watch Blu-ray movies if you have a built-in Blu-ray player with an HDMI port, HDMI cable, and a high-definition television.  Questions?  Please give me a call at 602-443-0073 and I'll be happy to help.

Hello.  My name is Dewayne Castillo and I am a co-owner of MyBizNow.com which I started over 10 years ago, and founder of San Tan Leads (www.SanTanLeads.com started in June of 2008). I am a tech enthusiast and an artist, strange combination maybe, but it works.  I am however, not a writer. If grammar is your thing you will surely be disappointed. I will not be one to make my high school English teacher proud, but I did get a fine art scholarship to the University of Arizona. That's gotta count for something. What you will find here are simply tips, suggestions and my professional opinion to help you navigate through the world of technology (sometimes other stuff too).  I hope you enjoy my posts and please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have.
