The only way to unseat Blu-ray is to develop an ultra-HD format (higher resolution than 1080p) and have it ready-to-go by the time ultra-HD TVs enter the mass market. It's still a few years off, but it's going to happen.]]>Feb 29th 2008 6:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/
Not to mention that at around 9' from the TV, you'd have to have a 70" TV to even resolve the full detail of 1080p. It's going to be a generation before we have enough people with big enough TVs to make Ultra HD feasible.]]>Mar 1st 2008 12:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 6:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/

And an HDTV to play it on? In factory outlets in the UK you could pick up a 26" 1080i for £350.

Its not -that- expensive, sure, a little bit more pricey now its only blu-ray which costs considerably more. But Its all going to fall in price anyway.

I don't what prices you've been looking at, but last time I checked for a new display standard and a new format I'd say its actually pretty cheap.]]>Mar 1st 2008 7:27AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Mar 2nd 2008 6:03AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 7:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 7:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/

VMD is like the Mike Gravel or Ron Paul of the HD race. Everybody cared about Blu-ray and HD-DVD, just like Democrats are caring about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Republicans are caring about John McCain and Mike Huckabee, but only very few are caring about VMD (perhaps because it still uses a red-laser diode?) in the same way that Gravel and Paul are largely being ignored (perhaps because of Gravel's stance in favor of weed or Paul's stance against the SAFE act?)]]>Feb 29th 2008 11:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/]]>Feb 29th 2008 8:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 8:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 9:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Feb 29th 2008 10:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/i know the bitrate is higher than HD DVD, but lower than BD.

I don't know why they even bother making such a thing. maybe they are aiming to replace VCD in Asian countries (VCD is still popular there - and cheaper than DVD)]]>Mar 1st 2008 7:32AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Mar 1st 2008 1:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/Mar 2nd 2008 1:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/29/nme-says-the-format-war-is-still-on-it-totally-made-out-with-a/
VMD is just being ignored and stands zero chance of making any traction at all. Anywhere.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 6:01AM
