Blu Ray Player


Hi all!

I am new to the blu ray world. I just bought a receiver that has DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. So does that mean if I buy a blu ray player, it needs to have DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD built in decoder as well? I just want to find a blu ray player that will handle DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD for my receiver.

Also, when I buy a blu ray movies, do I need to make sure that it has DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD?

Also, what are some good quality blu ray players? I was looking at brands like:

- Samsung
- Sony
- Pioneer
- Philips
- Magnavox
- Panasonic
- Sharp
- LG

Thanks for any advice!!!

Correct me if I am wrong (as I have no Blue-Ray experience), but based on what I have read my understanding is that a well-made Blue-Ray disk played into a 1080i/720p hi def tv set, especially a large one such as the op's, will typically look better than a standard definition dvd played on a high quality upconverting dvd player.

In which case the suggestion to delay getting a Blue-Ray player until the TV is upgraded may not necessarily be correct.
