I still have a ton of Laser Discs and, at least, you can READ what's on the album!  Try reading the blu-rays, at least for me, and you'll need a magnifying glass! Mind you, I'm not an advocate for the 12" album at this point in my blu-ray collection but trying to read what's on the blu-ray covers is nearly impossible for me.

So with Blu Rays, I've done this for a while - I put a small white sticker on the back of the case and write the aspect ratio and what volume my receiver should be set at, for quick reference that I can read !

Especially when you are trying to figure out what the aspect ratio is prior to watching to movie, or somone asks " what year did this come out " ? And it's in tiny tiny print. I have to use a flashlight. :o
That is an advantage I have when I rip them to my HDD...my media player gives that info before the movie starts.

You know how in a Star Trek movie Captain Kirk says " Scotty - divert all power to shields " ? In my case, it's " divert all cash to projectors ". New RS4500 - yes. New home theater PC - no. Maybe the new JVC will be so bright I won't need the flashlight ( as long as a 100IRE test pattern is up ) !
