In Reply to: Why? Are you implying the audio and video are somehow in the same legue? posted by Victor Khomenko on March 27, 2007 at 07:12:06:
Granted. The camera lies 24 frames a second. But that doesn't mean
that we shouldn't try to present a film in as close to a condition and format that the film makers intended. And film audio, consisting of a mixdown from a buzillion channels, could never be convincing as real, live music. But again, that's no reason why we shouldn't try to reproduce what the film/audio gurus have put on the soundtrack (aren't your amplifiers used by some of the most respected audio techs in Hollywood?).So I try to watch a 4 x 3 black and white film on video in that aspect ratio with the monitor set at 5400K. And when I watch a 1.85 x 1 or a 2.39 x 1 color film I see it in those aspect ratios at 6500K with the appropriate stereo or surround sound format. I find that this attention to detail and accuracy heightens the suspension of disbelief and intensifies viewer/listener involvment.

According to my ISF calibrator 5400 is the standard for watching black and white films. I believe that the original NTSC B&W standards called for a 5400K gray scale. Anyway, I find it more pleasing.

Why maybe?
But the point is - when there is a film I like being shown on TV... should I turn it off, or enjoy it? To me this is an easy decision.Is this not akin to the ipod discussions where some audiophiles would gladly skin you alive for using it?
Leaving soon for the airport... with thee ipods in my bags...
BTW, I see movies on TV kind of like books. The good content shines through the format imperfections.
