TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

it's simple and here's an example

Many people are using Blu-ray players with non-High Definition displays. Besides the better picture quality, you nearly always have lossless audio (or at least better lossy audio) and, because of the storage capacity, there are usually more extras and other such "value added" content.

Here's where the better picture resolution comes into play. Compare a High Definition 720p or 1080i broadcast signal to a 480i broadcast signal on 480p television/monitor. Even though the High Definition signal is downrezzed to 480 lines, there is clearly a better picture presented to the viewer vs the 480i signal.

Now, if you can't see the difference with the above example, your "what's the use comment should tell you where the problem is located.
