Dish Network 1080p Compared to Blu-ray 1080p (Verdict: Not Bad)

At face value , “ 1080p high definition ” signify 1920×1080 pixels presented progressive scan ( all at once ) . But if a clip is 1080p that alone does n’t necessitate that it will look good . Just as you’re able to stretch a thumbnail in Photoshop to any giant size you like , so too can content providers give you ugly 1080p . So when Dish internet announce premium 1080p VOD that they compared to Blu - ray quality , we weremore than a little skeptical . Sound & Vision was as well , which is exactly why they sat down with a Dish and Blu - ray version of Speed Racer to compare :

DISH 1080p right away impressed me . Speed Racer ’s glorious colors and intricate item looked fantastic whether I was watching the artificial satellite or the disc . Flipping back and forth between the two source while sitting at a normal viewing length , I could detect only insidious dispute . In fact , I could n’t be sure I was find out any difference of opinion at all … From the way - too - intimate screening distance of about 4 foot , I come out to remark a subtle granularity in the dishful 1080p motion-picture show , especially in prospect of slow , steady movement … but the fact that there was n’t a substantial difference in picture quality between the planet and the disc bodes well for DISH ’s new serve .

So in other words , there ’s a difference between Blu - ray and Dish web , but it ’s a jolly small one . So what ’s the collar ? Only exclusive Dish VOD look this good — most of their 1080p leaves a lot to be desired — and there wo n’t be much of this exchange premium content any time shortly . Still , it ’s honorable to see mental object providers step it up and provide 1080p content worthy of its repute . [ Sound & Vision ]
