My Samsung 40" is 1080p but it is really blurry up close, i have direct tv satelite cable. if u buy a blu ray player will my picture quality be way better than it is right now? I have my pc hooked on it and its awesome picture quality no blurs nothing. but when i switch to tv its not that great. plz anyone help me. thank you
