Maybe I should clarify!

On an NTSC machine they are supurb! 450 lines of crytal clarity!

Yes they are analog.....But I have never seen a plain vhs tape resolution look as good.

There is somthing strange about the look on an HD. Color bleeds and of couse pixeling (which of course is not from the "anolog source".

Line doubling has come down to about $600 I hear. Still a bit expensive for my taste. Besides I just spent 3700 dollars on an HD and P-scan DVD player. What's a mother to do!
