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
