HDTV, Blu-ray, and 3D Trends: 2011 Q1

[Smokey]

DVD is doomed, if for no other reason than the low price of BLU players.

I would say DVD players are doomed, not DVDs since DVDs can be played on Bluray player.

Both Samsung and Sony DVD players with HDMI output are priced around $60. An LG Bluray player is only $20 more. Thus this might be the last year we probably see DVD player with HDMI output from major brands.

And having a BLU player at hand, why buy a DVD when quite often the BLU disc is not much more expensive.

The reason is one word: Content. There is still more content and movies on DVD than Bluray discs as not everybody looking for new releases.
