What devices can play Blu-ray Discs?

There are many standalone Blu-ray Disc players to choose from, manufactured by Sony, Samsung, Phillips, Panasonic, Pioneer, LG, and Sharp. The Sony PlayStation 3 includes a fully functional built-in Blu-ray Disc player. A range of laptop computer models also have built-in Blu-ray Disc players while add-on Blu-ray Disc drives are available for desktop computers. Some of these also function as Blu-ray recorders.



What’s the difference between Blu-ray and DVD?


Crystal Clear Picture

Blu-ray Discs have up to 6x better picture resolution than DVD. Resolution refers to the number of number of horizontal lines there are to fill the screen--the higher the number, the better the picture quality. Blu-ray Discs and players display at 1080p resolution, which is the highest standard today.

Superior Sound

Blu-ray provides up to 7.1 channels of high definition surround sound, for a more realistic and immersive listening experience. DVD uses 5.1 channels, which lose some of the sound quality from the original source.

Advanced Interactivity

Seamless menus allow you to navigate the disc without ever leaving the movie. In the future, internet connectivity will deliver new content to enhance your film experience.

Unrivaled Storage Capacity

Blu-ray discs can store up to 50 GB of information—5x more capacity than DVD. This enables the best picture and sound, more bonus features and content, and greater file storage (for recordable Blu-ray Discs).

Exceptional Durability

Blu-ray utilizes a hard-coat protective layer that resists scratches, dust, and fingerprints that cause discs to skip, freeze, or simply not play.

With all these reasons to switch from DVD to Blu-ray, you can still continue to enjoy your DVD library since all Blu-ray players can play standard DVDs. In addition, Blu-ray players “upconvert” or “upscale” DVDs to a higher resolution so that they look even better than before.
