In Reply to: Do you have different formats to watch Movies on? posted by mwseik on February 8, 2005 at 17:20:33:
the VHS and LaserDisks that are older suffer in sharpness a bit. I often watch them on my smaller bedroom system where the difference is far less obvious.Even so, before my LD-S2 went on the fritz a line doubled image was highly competitive (as is the CLD 97) on a CRT projector, and in some respects even better. It is less competitive on a digital projector. Sadly, the LD-S2 got butchered by a repair shop and I bought a lesser Elite which ain't even close.
Nevertheless, it is a joy to watch the better disks and tapes without the residual tension I get from the artifacts and opacity of many DVDs. It is one of the reasons I maintain the older formats. The other is that I have some films that are not available on DVD. And with the impending release of HD-DVD, they may never be.
