Is there a significant difference between Blu Ray and DVD?
More of the significant difference will be the higher resolution, 1080p. You’ll see the a big difference with the picture quality, but now with the 1080p upscaling that almost every bluray player does with DVDs, you get almost the same picture. The little difference you get with the blurays is the sharper background images that’s probably why you don’t see such a big difference. On the other hand, the sound is what the Blu Ray discs offer that no DVD offers. Most of the Blu Ray discs offer 7.1 losses sound. Most people only have a 5.1 setup, but you still get better True Sound especially if you have a receiver that can decode 7.1 TrueHD of Master HD. It really depends on your setup with the sound and your receiver. It also depends on the movie too. Watching the Notebook on Bluray is a total waste, try watching Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation, Independence Day, Iron Man, Transformers, that’s where you get the best sound. I’m surprised at your disappointment with 300, but check out anot
