Will High Definition Blu Ray Picture Matter In Your Car
Already available in Japan, Blu Ray players have been introduced into the portable video market. In the further attempt by film companies to outmode DVDs because their security flaws are being exploited. But beyond marketing, what is really the point? Most DVD players in cars are made for little seven inch screens or similar. The whole point of high definition video was to have a greater clarity of picture on a big television screen. How much extra detail and resolution will you be able to notice on a tiny monitor? Most in car DVD player setups are in place to pacify the driver’s children and chances are they will not care what format their movie is in. What they will care about is the horrendous loading times that the Blu Ray format is still known for. High definition content is bound to slow up any device it is on, so you know when they eventually get the HD GPS systems out, imagine how slow they could be. But that has not happened yet.
The U.S. is still gradually adopting Blu ray, so there is probably not much of a market for it in your vehicles. The main appeal is for those who have to have the newest technology as it becomes available. So we shall have to wait and see how Blu Ray players for our cars fair when they reach the states.
