All I watch is HD, and I'm saying - the price for bluray is not justified. I'd rather just rent an hd movie off on-demand instead or watch a non hd movie upconverted.
You're partly right, except for one variable....

The signal that comes thru your TV screen is compressed way more than Blu Ray disc, so you see lots of artifacts(not 100% of the time) and color banding.

When the transfer of a Blu Ray is done well, nothing can top the deep blacks and super clear picture. TV has to compress the shit out of everything it sends.
