Going Blu-ray rant

[JAT]

Do you know what torrents are?

Yes. Mostly...reduced bandwidth rips from BD with obvious problems in the video.

Pretty much every movie/non reality tv show is filmed in 24p (23.976). Most mid to high end tvs can take the 24p signal and play it at 96hz for a smoother picture. The entry level Panasonic and Samsung plasmas can do it as well.

I was being a little facetious.

How many HDTVs under $1000 can correctly display 24p/23.976 at correct multiples? If you know some good ones let me know bc I'm in the market.

My response was to Blanka's average consumer comment. IMO the average consumer doesn't own a HDTV that will show a difference.

Panasonic ST60 plasma. Best "value" tv on the market.

Not sure if serious. You can get all different forms of quality from 720p, 1080p, remux (untouched audio and video), to the full Blu-ray disk. If you are against torrenting that's fine but what you stated isn't true. Sure, you can go to TPB and get some Handbrake rip that someone who has no idea how to encode did, but it's not hard at all to get a quality encode, especially if you know what groups to look for.
