      No motion artifact, no 3/2 reverse telecine studder. Pure pleasure.

    Most people are surprised that LD is an older technology than video tape. It was always a niche product with only about 2 million players
    in U.S. households. But the picture is MUCH better than tape and since it's an analog medium does not have the problems you seem to be bothered with regarding DVDs. That said, and having a colection of 900 laserdiscs and 600 DVDs, I prefer DVDs.

      Laser disc always was and always will be the best quality you will ever see on a crt, rptv, lcd, plasma or fptv...Blacker blacks, whiter whites, much more neutral skin tones, and true 525 line capability all add up to mean Pioneer knew what they were doing. Hook one up to a good line doubler and you have better quality than a cheap movie theatre any day. Too bad the world is full of lazy people who didn't like to get up to flip the disc..or you'd all be bragging about the quality.

      Obviously my vote goes to the Laser Disc.

        Many of the later players play two sides, often enough for a 2 hour CLV LD.
