I was just wondering if any of you have warched an hd dvd or a blu ray on the evo, since i notivce a few of you have ps3's and xbox's i have the hd dvd drive for my 360 and will be getting a ps3 after i buy my evo in august... man this wait really sucks, but anyway i just wonder how they are gonna look, anyone have some hd dvds or blu rays and can take some pics?

considering the limited resolution of the eVo I don't think you will notice much difference between DVD and HD content. On a 720p or above panel you can definately see the difference.

I have a Toshiba HD-DVD player and a samsung Blu-Ray player but I don't have an eVo, sorry.

Am I wrong that this has been asked before, there is a whole thread just like this.

Basically, yes there is a difference. When you have a high-res moving picture and a low-res display of it, the fact that it is a high-res signal is quite noticeable.

I haven't watched HD-DVD or Blu-ray, but the whole time I owned my eVo's, Prime-Time TV is in 720p or 1080i, so I am going to say that you can tell the difference.

Just in case you want to run an interesting experiment, go get a an IMAX DVD (plain, regular old DVD), the fact that it was shot with an 80mm (or whatever) super high-def film is glaringly obvious even on your normal TV.

I recommend SuperSpeedway, it was razor-sharp on my old RCA over S-Video. I believe that there is a WMV HD DVD version, I am not sure if there is an HD-DVD or blu-ray edition out yet.

I asked about it in another thread once.... but i was hopin someone had hd dvds and stuff and could take pics wich is mainly the point of this thread

send me an eVo and I will send you a hundred pictures of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

LOL when i get my evo... ill be watching my own hd dvd's on it.

so i guess no one has any?

hmm.. man this wait too save up money sucks its sooooo tempting to sell my hdtv cuz id have just enough money then.... but id rather still have a back up incase something goes wrong since the only thing i have besides the tv for a screen is a 17 inch computer monitor lol

Wait a month, let the new 7" wxga lcd come out in a group buy, then build one that looks nicer and uses a ceramic bulb. The evo is okay, but it's native resolution is 480p. If you know anything about dvd vs hd-dvd you'd know that dvd resolution is 480p--meaning that the only thing you'd be paying if you had a hd-dvd hooked up to an evo is a "stupid tax".
