It's not the drive, it's the display. So no, I don't think it would help all that much.
DVDs are made for NTSC Standard Def. Televisions.
If you buy a blu-ray drive, then the DVDs will look the same, but the Blu-Ray movies will look great because they are made for HD televisions, which is essentially what your display is.
DVDs are just 1s and 0s... and a blu-ray drive is going to read those 1s and 0s the same as all other dvd-drives.
uh, i really dont think my display looks that bad. its a new bloody 24" iMac. it has a good screen. playing movies just look like crap. its a reading slow thing, it looks great for everything else.
It's very possible that what you are seeing is the difference between looking at a YUV (television color component) and RGB (LCD color component)
YUV is how televisions create color by using a Red signal, Blue Signal, and then a brightness/Green signal. When you make the screen brighter is changes the color scope because you are moving the luminance(brightness/green)
RGB is a Red Signal, Blue Signal, and Green signal all different with a brightness control that is different as well.
If you are seeing color differences this is why, but if you mean that the video is pixilated in any way or the video is running slow, then this is probably not going to help much.
