In Reply to: Is an HDTV set required to maximise current DVD format? posted by Ted33 on November 5, 2002 at 13:58:14:
To view a DVD, in it's best possible resoloution, you would need a monitor that can display a 480p image in a 16x9 "window".There are two reasons why no analogue monitor I know of will fit that bill...
First off, I know of no analogue monitor that can accept anything above a 480i signal.
Second, even if you had a 4x3 analogue monitor that could display a 480p image it would have to be able to maintain that resoloution in a 16x9 window...meaning that the "black bars" at the top and bottom of the screen couldn't be fairly counted as lines of resoloution.
So, yes, I think the notion that you need a HD monitor to best view a DVD is correct.
