Published: Wed, 28 Nov 2007, 13:38:24 EDT
GLENDALE, Calif. - Nov. 28 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As holiday shoppers prepare to spend an estimated $13.5 billion on audio/video products, Intellikey Labs, a highly recognized leader in Hi-Definition Quality Assurance, releases a how-to guide, "Consumer Guide to Getting More Out Of Your Hi-Def Purchase: Blu-ray and HD DVD," outlines the basic options, identifies the top-ranked Hi-Def DVD players, and answers the question of Blu-ray vs. HD DVD.
 "With Hi-Def DVD products at the top of many holiday shopping lists, we wanted to help simplify the rapidly evolving choices that Hi-Def offers," said Lauren Evers, co-founder and President/CEO of Intellikey Labs. "Our consumer-friendly Hi-Def shopping guide strives to alleviate the guesswork involved when making a purchase in the highly technical world of Hi-Def DVD products. Our guide is designed to offer shoppers an easier way to make Hi-Def shopping decisions and ultimately, a much more satisfying experience with their Hi-Def DVD purchases."
"Consumer Guide to Getting More Out Of Your Hi-Def Purchase: Blu-ray and HD DVD" can help ease the burden of holiday shopping with quick and easy identification of the highest ranked Hi-Def DVD products. As the slow adoption of Hi-Definition DVD continues for the second holiday season in a row, there is a big concern that consumers are still unfamiliar with the concept of Hi-Definition and hesitant to make a purchase. In 2006 alone, consumer product returns in the U.S. reached $100 billion - mostly due to increasingly complex technical consumer products without a clear explanation of which products best suit their needs (*NOTE 1).
Intellikey Labs' Quality Assurance testing is known in the Hi-Def industry as the most accurate and most reliable. Intellikey ensures that Hi-Def and digital content products have every opportunity to perform at their highest capacity, while being committed to the education of consumers to ensure they gain the most enjoyment out of their Hi-Def DVD purchases.
"When deciding to buy a Hi-Def DVD product, consumers should be armed with the necessary market insight to make the right decision. Their Hi-Def purchases should bring them as much satisfaction as they expect-and more!" added Evers.
The first-ever Intellikey Labs' "Consumer Guide to Getting More Out Of Your Hi-Def Purchase: Blu-ray and HD DVD" hopes to ensure that buyers make educated purchases this holiday season, and that this clear and simple guide helps bring more consumers enjoyment in using Hi-Definition DVD.
"Consumer Guide to Getting More Out Of Your Hi-Def Purchase: Blu-ray and HD DVD" is available to consumers at no cost, and can be requested by sending an e-mail to: HiDef@intellikeylabs.com.
