Man is it possible that your tech crazed coworkers have spent to much time at
work in front of the CRTs and now perhaps need their eyes checked ;-)
Hey regular DVD's do look awesome upconverted to 1080i on the Blu-Ray, but the
blu-ray's blow them away. Colors are much more vivid, clarity is pinprick
sharp, sound is better, etc. At least that is what I see/hear on a 52" Sony
120mhz Bravia LCD brudddaaaa.....
Surely Dan and I can't be the only ones wanting this animal????
Erik I know you to well, you love the resolution to much to let those poor
innocent baby pixels collected from your HD cameras simply die on the cutting
room floor. :-)
Regards,
Larry
