In Reply to: DVI output-does it matter for DVDs? posted by Peter Breuninger on December 01, 2003 at 06:02:01:
It really depends upon the interaction of the player with your tv/projector. In my case, the Bravo has a very poor interaction with my projector (Sharp 10000 series DLP). A recent SGHT article on the Bravo highlights this problem. It is one of inadequate standardization at this point. As the SGHT article suggests, don't commit to the purchase until you try it out with your SPECIFIC system. As others have said, in principle it will be highly advantageous to run with DVI because you avoid several conversions. In practice, it may be a very different outcome.

I think the Sharp expects PC levels (0 - 255 vs 16 - 235), right? That's probably what's happening with your projector.Many of the older and/or less forward thinking projector systems use the digital PC standard, rather than the digital video standard (CCIR601/ITU601). Fortunately, many of the newer projectors come with a PC/video switch to allow for the fact that the DVD format is based on the digital video standard. The HDTV format is also based on the video standard, but has a different ITU number.
