  Hi Rich

  Intensity is set at 9300, brightness & contrast tweaked on both the Barco enhanced & on the Braco projector but still not nearly as bright as the other formats. Am I missing something?

    a correctly adjusted picture for DVD yields a dull, washed out picture for Laserdisc in my setups. The picture settings for getting the most out of Laserdisc are completely different from DVD. My Faroudja doubler enables separate picture adjustments for each input which can be stored in separate memories. After correctly adjusting the Laserdisc input settings and storing them in memory, all I have to do is press a button when switching from Laserdisc to DVD. I suspect your Barco has a number of picture setting memories (my Sony projector does) which can be used for this purpose. If you have a doubler, quadrupler, or scaler, use its memories since its more convenient than stepping through projector menus.

      and I've tried to get the correct set up for the laserdisc input but have failed so far. Have you suceeeded in lifting LDs to DVD brilliance? If so, some hints please? Are there other factors besides brightness & contrast I'm missing?

      The Barco has heaps of adjustments everywhere for each of its 5 inputs. On LDs I've got rid of smearing, "ghosting" and have finally got a crisp picture but have not been able to eliminate the dullness.

      These sophisticated video processors can be rewarding when set up correctly but MOST frustrating when the correct combination of the almost infinite ones available cannot be found. :-( This one has been here over a year and I'm still not master of it!!!!

      Thanks for your interest Rich
