Utilising 1080p resolution, Blu-ray offers a six-fold increase in picture quality when compared to DVD. Texture is more realistic and colours more vivid. The picture appears to have greater depth and a more natural balance. In short, Blu-ray gets closer to the truth than DVD could ever hope to. Yet it's not just with Blu-ray films that you'll see the benefits. Thanks to 1080p upsampling, your existing DVDs will look better than ever, too. Not quite as good as Blu-ray discs but certainly more detailed than before.
