Last two weeks have been fairly busy for me.

First of all, Michael is not my *boss*.

Secondly, I don't quite see how the article implies "... seems to agree with me.". The article clearly states that it depends on many factors.

The point is if you actually sat down and compared NTSC (R1) vs PAL (R2,R4) titles side by side, as opposed to arguing about theoretical differences, then you can see that typically R1 DVDs tend to have superior picture quality to R2/R4. I have previously suggested that you actually read my reviews (there are hundreds on them on michaeldvd).

For additional information, please refer to the following link which contains comparisons, together with screenshots. You will find on most of the comparisons, R1 picture quality wins.
