DVD's were suppose to be so good. I remember when I bought my DVD player 2 years ago and got Conan. It was so great to see the movie in widescreen and with the great color and such. I couldn't wait to get more of my movies on DVD format and junk my VHS tapes.
But Conan wasn't anamorphic and soon the horror is revealed. Because I don't have a new 16x9 enchanced TV I have to suffer with a downconverted picture on these stupid DVD's which leaves horrid diagonal lines. I can't watch them anymore. Give me my widescreen VHS tapes anyday. I just watched the Neverending story....UGH! The pain! I can see where every line was removed and it causes those jagged lines which snake along when the picture moves.
So I have to buy a new expensive TV? What if I can't? Why don't they make nice non-anamorphic DVD's for all of us that can't keep buying new TV's and such?
Ok, I feel better now that I've got that out. I assume there are others out there who feel the way I do about this.
