I've made the plunge into the HiDef disc arena by ordering a Toshiba HD-A35 for HD DVD, which should arrive shortly. I swore I would sit out this "war" but I've been learning that "never say never" is good advice. I upgraded to a HD HT system this summer and want to show off what my new monitor in particular can do.
I was curious, though the player will come with a few titles and I have a handful I intend on purchasing, can anyone recommend a good HD DVD demo disc that really showcases the format to the fullest? I was particularly hoping for one that contains a lot of HD video material rather than movies as I find that this type of image really sings when done right.
Thanks for any suggestions.
** A last point: in the interests of interglobal amity I hope we can all get along (Blu Ray and HDD) in this forum. A visit to the AVS forums today revealed a sad announcement of the temporary (hopefully) closing to new posts in the HD disc format forums. I couldn't believe that legal and physical threats have actually been posted by some folks. I guess the trolls are winning over there. I frequent both sites and would really lament any loss or restriction in information exchange. Here's hoping...
