For what it's worth, I held out for years because what I saw on the new flat screen monitors looked really crappy! I'm talking about VHS and standard def DVDs that I had created and thought it was not in my best interest to "upgrade." After all, everything looked great on my tube television. Fast forward to a couple of years ago and the new LED TVs ... they are a big improvement. I made the move after I did some work on the KINO Keaton set. I got myself a SONY (BDP-BX18) blu-ray player and to my surprise and delight, it plays both my regular DVDs and my PAL DVDs. It also plays digital files! I also have the option to connect it to the Internet, etc. and will eventually try to figure that out one day. So, it turned out to be a very positive move for me ... Also, since I work in video transmission, I also realized that the standard def broadcasts of most everything, was now coming in as either pan/scan or "center-cut" to my standard def, CRT Television set, so I'm glad I now have the 42" LED flat screen TV. As for starting again with my collection in Blu-Ray? I don't think so!!
