I totally agree with you, my father first got laserdisc in 1990 and I was truly impresed with it. Although I loved the laserdisc disc format, I could not afford it untill 2000. In 1998 I bought a dvd player beliving the hype, that was before I knew how much compresion its uses. Form day one I was trully disapionted with dvd, while I disliked the picture quality, (Compresion artifacts) I noticed that the sound was extremelly flat and had no dynamics, unlike laserdisc and HiFi vhs. I finally sold my dvd player and use laserdisc and vhs for movie playback. Also, anyone looking for laserdisc players should check ebay. They have an incredible selection of players.
