DVD Movies Rule!!

[GladiatorMaximus]

Dvd movies are awsome i watched a couple and i was amazed by the quality!!!! But most of them are still widesceen isn't the monitur small enough already? Who agrees?

 

[Swag1138]

DVDs are as cool as Thomas J. Kickass (whom you should all vote for)

But Double posts are suck, no?



I watch my DVDs on a 15 inch monitor, and I wouldnt watch a movie unless its in widescreen.

 

[GladiatorMaximus]

Why wouldn't you watch a movie unless it's widescreen?

 

[Croton]

watch it on a WEGA.
then you'll really be jizzing in your pants.

 

[GladiatorMaximus]

What is VEGA?

 

[syber321]

So excited by dvd movies you had to post twice? heh heh DVD movies are really kewl. I wish I owned a widescreen tv so I could fully enjoy the movies though. Trust me, GladiatorMaximus...you lose so much with the Pan and Scan and 4:3 conversions... Check this out...it'll amaze ya..

How DVD's compare to VHS and it also shows the difference in widescreen and w/o it.

GladiatorMaximus: I cant stand Pan n Scan. Once somone showed me the "pan" part of the pan-n-scan, I notice it all the time, and it friggen gets on my nerves!, so Widescreen for me it is!

I believe that Thomas J. Kickass loves DVD's as well. So if you like DVD's, you'll love Thomas J. Kickass!

A model of Sony TV. Got me one, 36" of goodness.

"Good TV-ness is next to godliness"

Widesceen movies are much better because with non-letterbox versions you don't see the whole scene!


EDIT:
Grammar corrections. *sigh* :frown:

 

[syber321]

Wega is a model of Sony VCR's. They're regular Direct View (not projection nor HDTV) They're also quite expensive, but they give some of the best pictures possible on a non-HDTV tv. The top of the line Wega is the Sony Wega XBR 36" which has the MSRP of like $1699 or something.

 

[GladiatorMaximus]

but sometimes you want too see the whole scene!!!

 

[konichiwa]

You do see the whole screen. Without widescreen you don't. You miss the edges.

That is why there is wide screen version GM. Pan and scan crops off some of the movie and you loose the full effect of how the moive was originally made in wide screen format.

 

[GladiatorMaximus]

Sorry I thought the movies weren't made in widescreen?? Stupid me!

 

[DirkBelig]

Movies like "Die Hard" and "Cliffhanger" are SUCK on pan/scan.

Letterbox uber alles!!!

 

[goldboyd]

actually the top of the line wega is the xbr400 the 36" model retails for just about 2500 and is gorgeous

but the real beauty of dvd's isn't the picture it's the sound. nothing like the quality of 5.1 dts or dolby digital. sound coming from all around 5 descrete speaker channels and a sub...better than a movie theater.

 

[yakko]

I like the widescreen best.

 

[tomcat]

DivX gets my vote if you're thinking of DIVX you're behind the times. divx.ctw.cc

 

[konichiwa]

Yes, DivX certainly rocks but you can't watch them on your TV, sadly.

"Pan and scan crops off some of the movie and you loose the full effect"

Adul Adul Adul... LOSE! Dumbass. :| hehe.

Oh and GM: "Stupid me!" - Yes, you are quite stupid, how come you're not banned yet?

Ha ha! All you people with your 30" Sony TVs. I pity you and your poor, misguided souls!

I am proud to be the owner of a 64" Pioneer, High-Definition, Wide-Screen, Make-all-other-TVs-its-bitch Television. I use the term "television" loosely though... this monster screen is nothing short of God in a box. Mmmmmm..... Pioneer HDTV.....









Actually, my parents own it... but I still get to watch it!

 

[kami]

raptor13, that thing must have emptied their wallets. wow. that's a damn fine piece of hardware...

as for me...I love my DVDs I don't have many but damn they kick ass.

 

[goldboyd]

I'm assuming you have a progessive scan dvd, raptor13? I'm looking for one to go with my new mitsu WS-65907. which one did you go with?

also can i ask why you went with the pioneer over the mitsu? imho the mitsu has a much better picture

 

[bigjon]

I'll probably never have a big TV (over 32" anyway ). For the price of some tv's it would be cheaper to get a good projector and a 100 inch screen. Not to mention how utterly slick it would be to motorize the screen and projector and have them drop/rotate into the living room/theater room Couple that with an in-floor sub and a good 5.1 system and I'd never be heard from again

 

[syber321]

Well, projectors and screens are nice, but they're a pain in the ass to deal with. The room always has to be completely and utterly dark to really appreciate it. I'd be happy just w/ a really good Direct View 36" HDTV widescreen tv with digital decoder.
