In terms of HD, isn't 720 or 1080 the same thing? And if it's Blu-Ray, isn't it 24p no matter what?

Blu-ray Disc supports a variety of framerates and resolutions. Framerates are generally 24/25/30/50 and 60 for 720p and 1080p/1080i. Almost all HD content on BD is 1080p24, but you'll find HD content from TV will often be 1080i60 in the future. 480p is available at 24, 30, and I think 60. 480i is available at 60. 576p is available at 25 and possibly 50 (I'd have to look it up), and 576i50 is also available. Essentially it's most of the DVD resolution-framerate combinations added to various 1080p, 1080i, and 720p variants.

I believe HD DVD went one step further and supported VCD resolutions on top of the above, because it kind of inherited all DVD resolutions, and DVD included VCD resolutions from the start even though they were practically never used. I have no idea of BD also supports VCD resolutions. It would be kind of cool if it did, and somewhat hilarious if you used it.]]>Dec 28th 2008 10:06AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/
A note about Bush - Argos bought exclusive rights to the Bush & Alba names so the only place you'll see them is in their stores. But the parent company Alba PLC sells kit elsewhere under the Goodmans & Grundig names so the same hardware could crop up elsewhere with a different name.

Here's a funny fact from all this branding madness. Argos sell 3 HD Freesat receivers - Goodmans GFSAT200HD for £137, Grundig GUFSAT01HD for £195 and the Bush BFSAT01HD for £97. Aside from a few cosmetic differences, they're the same box made by the same company!]]>Dec 28th 2008 4:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/Dec 28th 2008 11:29AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/

Upscaling technology has rendered this doubious technology totally redoundant, the high cost of discs makes it totally stupid,and if you really want to see the difference (basically unexistent) between upscaled DVDs and so called full HD , you can always stream HD content via PC, or provider's box, or choose from a variety of memory supports or streaming options.
This technology is born obsolete.]]>Dec 28th 2008 5:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/
If you can't tell the difference between upscaled DVD and HD you need professionel help.

You decide if it is the eyes you need to have checked out or or if it is your TV !

Of course the simpler way to show the difference is to have two sets playing SD & HD content side by side. I can well imagine that some people wouldn't have a clue what the difference was until they could see it for themselves. Fortunately stores seem to have worked this out for themselves.]]>Dec 29th 2008 1:45PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/Dec 29th 2008 7:41AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/

It ain't a a Marantz or Denon, but at that price, does it even matter?]]>Dec 29th 2008 11:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/28/bush-bd01-becomes-uks-first-sub-100-blu-ray-player/]]>Dec 30th 2008 4:45AM
