Hey, I'm new to Blu-Ray quality files and whatnot and have a few simple questions. To start off, I have a 23" widescreen 1080p monitor that I'm watching all of these on.

- I've seen Blu-Ray ripped torrents labeled as 720p and others at 1080p. I was under the impression that Blu-Ray was all 1080p... so how are these being ripped to 720p? And how are either being ripped to 4-8gb? Is there a noticeable amount of loss in quality from the original disc because I don't seem to notice anything.

- On a monitor the size of mine, will there be any discernible difference between 720p and 1080p? For example, if I have a movie in 720p and a release of the same comes about in 1080p, would it be worth my while to replace the 720p or would it be fruitless?

Thanks anyone and everyone. I've been reading these forums for quite a while and they've always been useful. There's a lot of good information on here and it's cool to be able to come to a place like this and find so many people with knowledge on these subjects.

This is how:

In my setup there is. Then again, my screen is 110 inches measured diagonally.

23 inches - I would say you would have a difficult time noticing an improvement.

You must take into account screen size and viewing distance.

Look at this link

http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/09/108...to-screen-size/

And all blu-rays are 1080p but rips are done based on file size. Thats why you see some 720p rips.

Not all BluRay titles are 1080p. Some concert titles and travelogues are 1080i. Note the disc specs in the following reviews:

Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band: Live in Dublin
Chris Botti Live with Orchestra
The Black Crowes: Freak N' Roll
Bikini Destination: Triple Fantasy
