Hi Debra, While the website itself is certainly not objective, I believe the market researchers cited (IHS Screen Digest, FutureSource, and the NPD Group) as the market data sources are reputable.
And while I confess I have watched the occasional movie on a very small screen, my mind-blowing experience with BD was projected on an 8-FOOT screen, not 8-inches... :-) Cheers, Michael Logan Acquisitions and Technical Services Humboldt County Library (707) 269-1962 ________________________________________ From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] on behalf of Mandel, Debra [d.man...@neu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 3:02 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] [videolib] Blu-ray Hi Michael- I read with interest about BD's rising popularity, but I'm wondering who runs this website and how objective it is, since it sells stuff. You are the first person to make the claim that that BD on a small screen was awesome. What are your 8" monitors? Thanks for turning me on to the BD acronym!
