Does Blu-Ray 1080p actually look 6 times better than regular 480p?

Question

I'm getting a Blu-Ray and just wanted to know what anybody thinks!

Answer 1

Iagree with Craig b

Answer 2

Yes, total sweetness!!!!  Any high def DVD or blueray image is a huge improvement from DVD.

Answer 3

Yes. An image on an ordinary TV screen is made up of small rectangles known as "pixels." The more pixels, the sharper the picture. Standard non-HDTV sets have 480 lines of resolution, while HDTVs have 720 horizontal lines or up to 1080, which means HDTV sets have up to 6 times the sharpness of analog TVs.

Answer 4

It's more like 6.96 times better.

When you count the pixels.

480P 480 X 640 = 307200

1080P 1920 X 1080 = 2138400

2138400 / 307200 = 6.9609375

So the math is right

Answer 5

Statistically yes, but you wouldn't see that much of a difference on a smaller screen. The bigger the screen and the closer you get to it, the more difference you will see. Even a 60 inch from across the room may not look much different.
