In Reply to: Watching old movies - a serious question posted by Victor Khomenko on December 28, 2006 at 14:56:07:
I love the old black and white movies... I've got a huge collection of favorites that I watch on a dedicated system with a 4:3 screen ratio in glorious mono. The screen is IF calibrated to D5500 (I think, can't remember exactly) which gives it a true silver screen look.
Follow Ups:
It's 5400K, the original NTSC standard. My "Warm" setting is thus calibrated and my "Neutral" is set at 6500K so I can switch back and forth as need be.The nonemclature is counter-intuitive but the results are spectacular. I suppose you have the most recent DVD (two disc set) of "Casablanca, which is simply stunning.
Funny you brought up Casablanca... I was going to mention it in my original post. I'm a huge fan of Bogart. Of course I've got the new Casablanca set, as well as The Big Sleep, Treasure of the Sierra Madre and most of Bogie's other movies, especially my favorite, The Maltese Falcon. Likewise all things Cagney. Great stuff!
