My brother-in-law wants to get a widescreen TV, and is looking to me for info...unfortunately, I know a lot about video, digital video, DVDs, and movies in general...but not too much about high definition widescreen televisions (I don't own one myself yet). So I thought I'd turn to you who know more than I...
Steve (my brother-in-law) is looking at an open floor model of the Sony XBR series (57XBR10W). The price is great, and he is intrigued with the Digital Reality Creation (DRC) feature, so the first question I have is, what the hell is this DRC, and is this what he wants? All he's trying to do is watch anamorphic DVDs in all their splendor with the best possible resolution, so what is the best way for him to do that? Price is and issue...
Does he need the actual High Definition converter to do this (The set is HD ready, but doesn't include the converter)?
What is the coverter actually for? It it just for viewing broadcast television?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated...and I'll make sure that one day they write songs about you...
Thanks...
