If you’ve ever seen a high-definition TV broadcast on an HDTV, then you know that an HD picture is more vivid and incredibly sharp. This stunning level of detail and resolution is impossible to reproduce on a standard DVD, which has a maximum resolution of 480p. In contrast, Blu-ray has Blu-Rayhe capacity to store all of the data needed for high-definition video, so it is able to reproduce the high-definition images at a resolution of 1080p full high definition. The result is that Blu-ray brings your favorite home entertainment to life with more clarity and higher quality than ever before.
In addition, the extra disc space means there’s room for significantly more content and special features. When you buy a DVD movie, usually you are not just getting the movie, you are also getting the extra features that come along with it, like director’s commentary and making-of documentaries. With Blu-ray, there’s the possibility for previously unheard-of special features. Imagine, for example, interactive content, like a director on the screen explaining the shooting of a scene while the scene is playing in the background.
With greatly enhanced audio/video quality and additional content capability, Blu-ray is a huge step forward in the DVD viewing experience.

DVD is, by some measurements, the greatest success in consumer electronics history. Following its 1997 debut, it took the format just a few years to completely conquer the home-video market previously ruled by VHS tapes. Before DVD even reached its 10th birthday, however, the electronics industry and the Hollywood studios began putting it out to pasture.
