When we heard Disney was doing a nationwide mall tour promoting Blu-ray, we wondered how effective it would be swaying J6P into buying Blu-ray. We also wondered how good the presentation would be as far as Audio/Video quality wise. On both counts we were pleasantly surprised. The presentation used a 58″ Panasonic 1080p Plasma, a Panasonic BD player, including Yamaha surround sound speakers/subs. The things that stood out most in the BD demo presentation was the scenes from Cars, Ratatouille , and Meet the Robinsons. After watching the speech/demo, we feel this tour should help the non techies understand/see the benefits of Blu-ray over DVD.
There was one thing that had us rolling our eyes. The nice lady reminded us to pick up a “Monster HDMI Cable” for the best Blu-ray picture possible.
