  Does 'zoom' impact picture quality at all?

  • Yup…there will be some aspect ratio exaggeration, as it will try to fill the screen... - millen 13:07:18 04/22/05 (4)

    so in a way the subject will look compressed. It will take sometime to get used to however.

    BTW, on some newer TV models like Toshiba, Sony and others they have a zoom capability that minimizes the outer screen distortion of which makes the viewing looks natural and a lot easier on the eyes especially on action movies.

    • That's almost a deal killer for me. I guess I'll have to see how many DVDs - Zero 13:55:00 04/22/05 (3)

      this could impact. If it's a small percentage, I might go for it.

      How about projectors? Would they have the same problem with skewing aspect ratio to view subtitles?

      Thanks....

        Well over 90% of DVDs are anamorphic, meaning that you would watch them in the TV's "Full" mode, which may be called other thingsd based on the manufacturer.

      • It so happens that I have both RPTV and LCD projector... - millen 14:16:44 04/22/05 (1)

        The LCD projector (the one that I have anyway) does not do this at all, as it has a built in scaler that will allow me to scale down the viewing area according to the movie anamorphic scale ratio.

        BTW, most if not all LCD and DLP projectors do come with built in scaler the only thing that you have to watch for is how well it does its scaling job I supposed the upper end models does it better than some lower end ones..
