Yes, that Sony Super Fine Pitch picture tube is great and another reason why I thought I might have an advantage with up-conversion. Which also means I might have something to worry about if the set suddenly goes on me in regards to up-conversion picture quality .:hmm:
Another interesting thing I've noticed. DVD-R recordings I've made and watch up-converted play back beautifully on our Sony CRT in the living room but are awful when up-converted on the LCD in our den (distorted color, graininess, etc.). Played back at 480p and the picture is fine. Could it...
We sit about six feet away from the Sony 34 inch CRT (it is 26 inches deep so the screen is almost three feet off the wall). It's been calibrated and still rates among the top HD monitors despite the advances in flat screen technology over the years. I've read that it not being a fixed pixel...
Were you guys referring to me or someone else?:hmm:
I only have standard DVD but recently purchased the Logitech Revue and have access to Netflix. Thought it would be a good way to compare the difference between an up-converted DVD and similar title on Bluray before somebody told me that...
Thanks for the info. Might not have mentioned that I have just a 34 inch (Sony KD34XBR960 - CRT) in our main HT system and a 32 inch Samsung LCD in our den so the size of the screen has to be considered in the equation as well. Might be why the up-conversion looks so sharp and vibrant but am...
Was corresponding with someone who is a videophile and said that he prefers renting bluray discs rather than streaming them from Netflix because the picture quality suffers a bit. :confused: Is this true?
Wouldn't be a matter of cost so much since they are all becoming quite inexpensive, was just concerned about things I've seen posted about many of the less expensive bluray players not up-converting as well as the more expensive ones and regular DVD players. :hmm:
Not a big fan of LG and then I wonder how much less a DVD player from Panasonic and others might be. I also recall reading from various sources that many of the less expensive bluray players don't up-convert as well as DVD players due to the type of laser system. Is this true?
I had the same question myself. My only real luxury is owning a Sony KD34XBR960, a 34 inch HD CRT which is still regarded as one of the top sets around. It also has an excellent line-doubler, for it's amazing how well low-quality VHS recordings even look on it (considering it's lack of...
My opinion why bluray only accounts for 13% of total disc sales is because like so many others, I have assembled a large collection of DVDs over the years and hence, a bluray player would be of little use since it would do nothing more than up-convert those films, which is what my current DVD...
