As you may or may not know, I like to tout and keep tabs on a product I am proud to own and use. It was maybe a little over a year ago when I swung by the Vudu office and got my first glimpse at their great product. They've done a lot of added a lot of new content and features to their On Demand Media box since then (TV shows, HD content, lower price, adult content), but seem to have been tabbed as long shot in the digital world to outpace AppleTV and LG's Netflix similar On Demand Box.

While these boxes have some compelling features, Vudu made a splash last week in announcing the availability of true 1080P Blu Ray quality high definition content. Up until now HD content (large files) has been available but not in true 1080P. Below are some screenshots of the improved quality, in content Vudu is tabbing "HDX".

So after hearing so much of the improvement, I decided to give it a try..

My thoughts: Yes it was awesome. Yes it was Blu Ray quality and yes it felt like I was shrooming at some points because the colors were so vivid. Unfortunately though I picked a horrible movie which I couldn't even finish. Let's just say it involved Michael Douglas and it was probably worse than The Sentinal although I never saw that.

So I'll have to revisit this at a latter time. But for now HDX gets its first Jewish Chinese endorsement to my knowledge. Below is their trailer for HDX although it probably defeats the purpose of watching it via youtube.
