The Latest DVD Player Technology - The Blu-Ray DVD Player
There was a time that we were happy with the floppy discs as the storage device, despite the limited space; then came the CD's, which had a much better storage capacity and a decent resolution.
There after, DVD's came into existence.
These were much better in resolution as well as the storage space.
However, these can't be said as the best.
The latest that has come up is the Blu-ray DVD's technology which has amazing clarity due to the high resolution.
These are the ones which are preferred these days.
Big banners like Warner Brothers and like are releasing their movies on the Blu-ray discs to have the most of the resolution that a DVD offers.
Clearly, to watch these discs, one need to have a Blu-ray, just like it is needed in case of the normal player.
Most recently, the HD-DVD technology and this technology were neck to neck, but the HD-DVD has been discontinued officially now, leaving this technology to lead the market.

But, the standard DVD wouldn't reflect in the high resolution as these are not DVD's.
These are just played in the Blu-ray player.
Though, in some cases, these could be up scaled to 720p/1080i or 1080p mode.
On the other hand, in case you have a couple of CD's as well, which you wish to play in the player that is possible as well.
However, in certain cases, this might not be an option.
