Ok, so I admit it. I don't understand ANYTHING about Hi Def content. I currently own a CRT TV, which is suitably large and has an excellent picture. I also own an Xbox 360 and a shiny new MacBook Pro.
The reason I bring this up now is actually twofold:
(1) The wife has mentioned maybe getting a flat screen TV with ideas of mounting it on a wall to create space in the living room. As long as we can get round the pain-in-the-neck problems this excites me somewhat, but I expect with baby on the way this will fall down the list of priorities and is therefore more of a pipe dream.
(2) There are rumours circulating that the new iMacs which are round the corner will be able to have Blu-Ray drives added to them, which would mean that presumably external Blu-Ray drives might start being available to us Mac users.
My question is this:
If such thing as a Blu-Ray external drive becomes available, and my Mac can decode it, on a 13" screen with 1200x800 resolution is there any point? I have no concept of 1080p or 720p or 840i or 423bill or 999dave or whatever.
Also, anyone willing to fill me in any other relevant details will be doing me a large favour too.
Love and kisses,
Your friendly neighbourhood Mantrain
