    I have solid Fios www connection. Most Netflix Instant movies I watch purport to be "HD." From a purely user opinion viewpoint, the video is at least DVD quality, and the delay from selecting Start until the movie starts is ~10 seconds. (And, of course, the cost is virtually zero if you are primarily a DVD viewer.

    DVD quality isn't even close to HD. It's 480 and you have to have at least 720 p to qualify. so far everything I've seen online that is 720 is a weak quality in comparison. I've seen some listed at 1080 p that look pretty good though.

    Thanks for your opinion. Certainly 480p isn't HD, duh. However 480 p image quality can compare quite favorably to a highly compressed 720p from a Sat or Cable provider. Also, renting a DVD disk from Netflix provides a 480p image, viewing an instant pick from Netflix likely provides no better then a 480p image - or an up-rezzed image which will not result in an improved image.

    I have a Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma. Not all movies are of better image quality on BD compared to DVD.

    Additionally, if the Netflix source for an instant viewing item is a DVD, their up-rezzing it to 720p or 1080i for transmission to your STB will not result in an improved image when compared to having the DVD at home. There is, however, a big improvement wrt timeliness of delivery and having the ability to choose from numerous movies at the spur of the moment.
