Re: Any recent thoughts on the Samsung Tantus?

192.250.112.134

I have the 30" Tantus (16:9). I think the only difference between the 30" model and the 32" model is the aspect ratio. How these units compare to the WEGA, I think, would depend on what your priorities are.

Because Tantus *always* does line doubling, which is never flawless, if you are using regular NTSC signal from over-the-air or via regular cable, you might find that WEGA picture looks subjectively more natural, despite the interlacing lines (which, I might add, are annoyingly prominent on the WEGA modesl.

On the other hand, if you mostly watcn DVDs (connected via component video) or view heavily compressed digital video from likes of DirectTV, then you will find that Tantus is better, because of the lack of interlaced lines. Here, the line doubling is almost flawless.

Finally, Tantus models have built-in surround decoder with speaker outs for center and surround, a cheap way to home theatre.
