Re: New Abyss DVD set awesome

I am very familiar with the CT27SF - it has good resolution but the color is skewed toward blue (can be corrected by a trained tech). Good comb filter. Sharpness should be set full off on that model and velocity scan modulation disabled. Otherwise you will see some of the cross-color noise on LDs attenuated which can be mis-interpreted as superior resolution (like ss grain passing for more resolution in audio).


Aliasing and posterization problems are inherent in your monitor, not in your DVD player (as long as it does not have a first gen/9 bit processor). I have never heard of frame dropping - please elaborate - if it is as you say it sounds like a problem with your dvd player. The two major artifacts of DVDs - for the most part solved with higher horsepower processors and better disc mastering techniquest - are bursts of artifact noise (like when a satellite feed breakds up) and "mosquito noise" (looks like rain in the backround of the picture).

I am not putting down your monitor - it is okay - but hardly state of the art, and not really a good indicator of DVD quality. FWIW, I own three of Pioneer's top LD players - all tuned to the teeth - and they produce very fine pictures, close to DVD in many respects, but are all eclipsed by any middle of the road 3rd gen. DVD player.
