1080 so why a blue ray??

[keith mawer]

my home cinema arrived today ( a guy from store installed it).. the picture quality is so good and it says "1080 up scaled" ,, so my question is why would i buy a blue ray,, ( well i was actually now not so sure),

Coz Blu-ray will blow upscaled away.

Upscaled 1080p from a DVD is no way near the quality of a proper 1080p source such as Blu Ray. There is no real added information. It is just taking the DVD resolution and resizing it.

What is your tv keith and how big is it.

Also, the HD audio on blu-rays can be much better than DVD sound.
