In Reply to: high-def TV is better than current DVD posted by audioman on January 23, 2003 at 19:54:55:
Hi Audioman,Nothing wrong with your dvd setup, HDTV is just plain better. DVD was developed to make the most of conventional TV - with wide-screen anamorphic being something of an afterthought. Basically, DVDs are based on 480 lines of resolution while HD is based on 720 or 1080 lines.
There has been quite a lot of talk about HD-DVD, but talk is cheap. Compeating technologies and Hollywood concerns have slowed development to a crawl. I have read about different laser technologies and encryptions that may be used, but nothing yet regarding likely display resolutions. Should be out sometime this century.
