I've recently bought myself a new 1080p 23" TV and Blu-ray player for the bedroom and watched Kingdom of Heaven last night (OK film, nothing special).
It was the first Blu-ray film that I've seen. On wide scenery shots it looked very rich and full of detail in depth (hope that makes sense). But generally I was not overly wowed by the total experience. I was expecting orders of magnitude difference to DVD films, but if I had to speculate I'd say it was 50% better.
I'm glad I bought the TV and Blu-ray now that the prices have really fallen to sensible money. If I'd bought 1-2 years ago and paid top dollar I would have been very disappointed.
Maybe I need to watch a Blu-ray film on a larger (32") to truly appreciate all the extra detail over DVD?
What are other member's experiences of Blu-ray?
