    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    I'm certainly not getting into rearranging my furniture or primary seating position to accommodate a certain resolution; that being said, it may indeed come down to some tinerking with player/display settings to get highly compressed 480i material to look decent on a massive screen. However...

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    The only problem I see with the medium is when the screen sizes get to a certain average level...and how 480i resolution is going to hold up on, say, 80-inch-plus displays. Right now, I'm running a 65-inch display, and this was a step up from my previous 50-inch rear projection set, and DVD...

In fact, I recently purchased a Scott...

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    Funny... My local Redbox rental kiosk stocks nothing but DVDs, save for the occasional Blu-ray that I can snag from time to time. I also still see tons of them for sale in local Targets and Wal-Marts. For me, it's a medium that's still viable; most newer releases look great upscaled by my...
