This is something i never seen in any forum...
Sometimes people (units owner's) say that the HLD X0 is better than the HLD X9 on Muse Hi-Vision discs.
Anyone has ever done the ultimate test face to face?
Let's consider here both factor's:

- Good Hi-Vision Transfers (Ex. Atlantis: A River Runs Trought it, Back to the Future...)
- Less Good Transfers (Bram Stocker's Dracula, Terminator 2...)

And here i make this comparison because, the X9 has a much more advanced comb filter...
Doe that makes any diference on worst Muse transfers?


Cheers everyone...

The comb filter is not used with Muse. There was one Brian on HTF that did a test and he prefered the X0 for Muse discs.

I have an X9 but no MUSE decoder and have never tried any MUSE/Hi-Vision discs on it. But I have heard it said that the X9 has a greenish hue on MUSE content, and that the X0 is better in that respect.

Hi
I completely agree...I was watching Jumanji Hi Vision the other day, and on the X9 the picture was so greenish on the Sony Bravia 40X...Maybe the TV does not help alot.
If it was for example a Pioneer PDP-LX5090 that would be better certainly :)
