Hi there: This may be a silly question, but I'm thinking of getting a Blu-ray player, but I have an older widescreen TV with component video inputs (no HDMI or DVI inputs). What could I expect in terns of picture and sound quality? Would it be the same as SD, or would I expect to see any improved picture or sound quality? Any input would be very greatly appreciated.

Re: Blu-ray question - component video hookup

What model is your TV, and what is its maximum resolution?

Re: Blu-ray question - component video hookup

More than likely you are looking at getting a very clear 720p image with basically the same 2.0 stereo sound (assuming you don't have a receiver) you enjoy today. Are you using an upconverting DVD player today and if so which one?

With models continuing to come down in price (saw one at Costco today for $249) you may be able to get a really good deal on a unit right after Thanksgiving.

DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!
