12 VDC Blu-Ray Player

i have a friend with a Brand new HD tv and a (2) yr old DVD player
and he is using component cables

i keep telling him to go buy an HDMI cable

I've been running that model for a few months now, I cut off the cord and wired it in parallel with my Insignia TV which I've been using for 2 years on 12V. Haven't had a single problem with either device running on 12V.

it cost me a fraction of the OEM Jensen junk.

Few guesses:

1) automotive grade blu-ray aren't that common, yes they exist but not for $10 at the wholesale level like the Jensen

2) most coach have small TV ... with the exception of the high 6 and 7 figure priced ones, dvd vs bluray is moot on a 20-40 inch screen.

3) blu-ray itself, despite clear technical superiority is still a niche product. the masses think DVD is "hd", which is not, but good luck telling Joe Lunchbox or Soccer Mom that.

Just like laptops and desktop computers - why do they still come with dvd drives? Bluray doesn't cost more at the retail level, but it must be a lot more expensive at the oem level.
