True- but Progressive scan still promotes or provides better contrast, color, lower noise foor, lower interlaced artifacts, and takes less room on a DVD, Tape, or to broadcast. 720p is also better for sports, movement, or fast motion.
I was looking at the "time" of 1 field, not one frame, for which 720p contains more information. For 1 frame- 1080i in theory could provide more picture elements, but after the interlaced artifacts- probably won't look as good unless it's a still image. Too bad most HDTV is 1080i and most...
Go for the full deal.. Overscan Center screen Geometry Manual Focus Electonic Focus Convergence Red push Color decoder SVM I2C (Mits) Lens Stripe Line the inside hood with duventyne.... Don't just settle for basic picture settings and Grayscale.
You like your D-VHS? I was thinking about picking one up for $349 just for DVE in 1080i but I am debating. You have DVE yet? Plan to buy the DVE 1080i or DVE720p tape when it comes out next month?
Well... Calibration is the way to go if your looking for color improvement Colors are effected/based upon grayscale.. and fixing your grayscale will fix your colors. This is somthing you need to hire an ISF guy for
Anyone have an idea how long before DVE from Joe Kane is available in 1080i in D-VHS? I am waiting to buy a D-VHS player for this... I want to order it... but I don't know how long it would be. When should I expect it?
Do you want a tuner? Do you want anti glare screen or would you remove it? Do you want DVI? You need to find out what you are looking for. If you don't need DVI, want HDTV tuner and would remove the screen... go with the Mits. Otherwise go with toshie or Hitachi
APEX is awful. I mean, for someone to buy it they must knowingly want and desire the lowest possible quality tv imaginable with utter disregard for quality or reliability. There is nothing lower... It is the bottom of the barrel. For $10-$20 more you can do alot better.
511 has tuner and upgrade. hits and toshie have anti glare screen and DVI. tough call... hits is probably slightly more reliable and better than Toshie but at a slightly higher cost too.. You can go wrong with any of those three really.
The Huges is a good Box. Same as the Mits and toshiba boxes too.. Hughes owns DirecTV, and OEM's out alot of parts, and boxes for others. It has component and optical out.. but no VGA out. Stereophile Guide to home theater did a nice review on it. So did PerfectVision magazine...
Buy an open box floor model set from a good brand. Look for a $300 tv for $200 or so... That's where the value is, considering 27 tubes almost never break down or wear out. Generally 27 tubes last a long time... rare in our throw away society.
Guessing here... The face is about 11X8 I would guess. Bout the size of a piece of paper... and about 6 inches deep. Your right the Video 1 is not a polycell. It was the matching center at the time for those though...
