My first rue experience ever with D-Theater. (1 Viewer)

[Jerome Grate]

The store was playing U-571 on a LG plasma model. The scene showing was when the new captain was plotting how to strike the boat above while they were dropping depth charges. Well all I can say is WOW!!! That picture was so incredible the sweat and water on everyone's faces in the sub was so fine and detailed I was floored. I will play this tonight in the Zenith and hope I get something close to it. You D-Theater owners I can see why you order those movies even on tape medium, just incredible.

 

[Tony Kwong]

Not only is the video better, the audio is SO much improved!

 

[Greg Black]

Wow, and you saw all that detail when it was being downconverted to 720p? That is what plasmas run at, correct? I wonder how it compares to the SD DVD upconverted to 1080i?

 

[Mike Wadkins]

nope only the bad ones some have the natural res of 1080

I thought D-Tapes only had standard Dolby Digital, how is it improved?

The Dolby tracks are recorded at the maximum bit-rate and many newer D-VHS titles feature full-bit rate DTS tracks as well. I can only imagine how the full-bit DTS track on Master and Commander sounds because the DVD sounds incredible.

 

[Kevin M]

Ah, I haven't been following it very closely then because I didn't know they had finally brought DTS to the format.

 

[Brent M]

The DTS track on the U-571 DVD is pretty damn impressive so if the D-Theater's sound is even better I'd like to hear it.
