If i play blu ray movies on my sdtv will it look better then dvd or will it look the same since i have a sdtv?

Question

on my ps3

Answer 1

Blu-ray will look the same as DVD on a SDTV.  Don't even waste your money on blu-ray unless you have a large screen HDTV.

Answer 2

It should look about the same, maybe even worse.

Answer 3

Technically it will look better. Now, this is NOT because of any increase in resolution. Any perceiveable change will be because of less compression used on Blu-Ray discs. Whether or not you can see this difference will be on a disc by disc basis and will also depend on the size of your SDTV. The bigger the TV, the more noticeable compression becomes.

I am assuming from your description that you already have a PS3. If you are going to buy a movie and are planning for the future, getting the HD release may be a good idea if you see yourself going to an HDTV in the near future. Just make sure to snag the discs when they are on sale. You can find new releases for the same price as DVD if you know where to look.
