    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    Before you guys think I actually talk to birds also...let me clarify my position some more...since I can't zoom the image @720p or 1080i...I will be buying myself a scaler to allow me to adjust the screen output at 1080i HD resolution...so don't worry about me losing out on all that resolution...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    It's funny because when zooming for a DVD from my TV it doesn't cut much of the picture out...but when I use zoom for SD cable etc...it can occassionlly cut heads off on some camera shots of live TV and a whole bunch of other stuff...it's really really bad...but I don't enjoy watching SD with...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    As strange as my opinion may seem, it is more practial to watch HD movies in that way, attempting to watch it as a 1:25:1 aspect ratio would require me to purchase a larger set 42"-50"...where I can then say I would enjoy watching it at that aspect ratio somewhat...my TV. is too small to...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    I appologize for not understanding that this forum holds topics only for individuals with expensive Home Theatre equipment. Since you clearly categorized my purchase of a Blue-Ray movie and undervalued it's value purposly in order to critisize my affordable taste in a movie stating I watched a...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    No this is for real. I clearly stated that this film surpasses the SD version of the original film even at 480p...1080i is even more spectacullar...my choice to use the zoom function is more a matter of personal taste, regardles of how much image is cut. I still strongly feel that Sony should...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    Yah I really enjoyed the movie even at 480p...it didn't blow me away...but it had the dynamics of what the director would be watching in the editing room. Most movie's I've run through do not have any abnormal stretching issues...thats what HD is for millions of pixels you'd never spot even...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    Yes zoom defiantly improves the Home Theatre experience for me...if you don't mind the black bars glowing in the dark due to shading imperfections of your LCD or Plasma then good for you... for me the black bars glow too much for my like'ing when watching the movie in the dark...they tend to...

    The Fifth Element: Blue Ray Review

    Just purchased it for Blue-Ray. I played it back on my LG-BH-100 @ 480p.... And it was an enjoyable difference...in relation to the SD DVD. I firmly beleive that in order to enjoy Wide Screen movies I have to watch my movies with no borders on the top and bottom...thus having to zoom the...

    BLU RAY OR HD DVD??

    I decided to hold out of the format war...and I chose LG's Super-Multi Player. In relation to other players...most of what this player offers comes down to personal prefrence. If you like HD special features etc, then you could have problems with this unit. Otherwise..the image quality is...

    HDMI Cable Quality?

    As mentioned above...its more likely to be your cable box acting up...I'm using a $10 HDMI cable to my lcd and the picture quality is flawless...any degradation in quality will not be bluntly obervable...but there could be differences pointed out when using a Video Calibrating DVD etc...somthing...

    HD Broadcast Quality

    Concerning resolutions etc...I understand that low compressed bandwidth..on ... SD and HD signals, keeps the image quality low...thus deeming the word HD meaningingless... ...my question is...does anyone know why high-bandwidth seems like such a pain in the a***@%$#! for broadcaster's to...

    Why do I get the impression Blu Ray is "winning?"

    I understand that this forum could have some Hard-core Hi-FI followers in it...thats understandable...I'm just making my opinion known as to what could happen in the future concerning these two formats...I'm pretty sure the Beta format clan enjoyed the qualities of Beta Years...after it was put...

    Why do I get the impression Blu Ray is "winning?"

    I agree with the above, I'm sure some HD Movies can be "shoddy"...so the bottom line is...who really cares?...right?...if you can simply buy a dual format player at wal-mart for under $300- $400 then why argue Blue-Ray is better?...or even HD...this is just my opinion for people who have the...

    Why do I get the impression Blu Ray is "winning?"

    Here's what I think could actually happen with both Formats: VHS vs BETA = VHS wins = Cheaper to buy and make. LASER DISK vs VHS = LASER DISK WINS = Technology in video and audio surpases VHS standards. LASER DISK vs DVD = DVD WINS = DVD wins due to compact format compared to LARGE...

    Outboard Video Processors (scalers/deinterlacers,etc.) ** From My Perspective **

    Great breifing on the DVDO scaler...but I'm just wondering about it's settings? Can the setting of the unit be cusomized for each input source?...example...Cable box ~ HD DVD ~ Game system?...or does it actually convert all signals from each channel / source and display them on one output...

    Why do I get the impression Blu Ray is "winning?"

    IMO from my first experience with Blue-Ray Disk...it didn't impress me at all... ...If anyone out there thinks HD DVD is nothing in relation to Blue-ray technology...you better think again. ~ My set-up consists of an HP 32 LCD HDTV @ 720p Native resolution ~ ~ Tested with LG's BH100...
