Question Will Blu-Ray Matter for Pioneer 720p Kuros?


Hi All,

Pretty new to Home Theater. I bought the 50" Kuros plasma 720p. I spent 45 minutes studying the difference between 720 and 1080 Kuros with a Blu-Ray input and while I could barely tell the tiniest difference between the two when studying paused images. I couldn't justify paying $1500 more for the 1080p.

Of course now I'm thinking about wheter Blu-Ray makes sense for me, or should I buy a good DVD player? The Kuros says it supports 480, 720 and 1080. The dealer told me the audio channel for Blu-Ray is somewhat superior, and I assume that Blu-Ray will ultimately overtake "standard" DVD in availability, and prices will ultimately drop. But will I see (or hear) any difference between Blu-Ray and a good DVD player?

My receiver is Integra 7.8. Thanks for your opinions and advice!

Mark
