HDTV spectacular on my Sony HS10!  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Comcast just started offering HDTV service here in Fort Wayne this week, and I was one of the first to get it installed. I connected the cable box to my HS10 projector via component cables (my DVI port is connected to my HTPC). I wasn't quite sure what to expect since I thought the picture quality of DVDs increased dramatically by switching from a standalone player with component output to my HTPC with DVI.

When the installer finally got the cable box set up and flipped to the PBS station showing hi-def demo material, I was floored! The detail and color were nothing short of spectacular! I have had difficulty taking my eyes off the screen since. The HS10 has taken alot of flack about the lamp bug, and while mine has started showing signs of it, I am thoroughly impressed by its handling of HDTV material. I know I will eventually have to send my projector to Laredo for repair, and giving it up now will be harder than ever!

I don't have HBO or Showtime, but the quality of the picture on the older movies showing on the InHD channels is amazing! Hi-def on the HS10 totally blows away DVD. It's going to be difficult to watch movies on standard DVD from now on. Bring on the blue-ray DVDs!!!

I know how you feel :D Had the HS10 since Aug and HDTV @ 1080i is just stunning. Must admit that even our SD digital tv 576i/576p is impressive as well, but the HD stuff just is like being in the picture with it's detail and pq.

Yep, the HS10 shines w/ HDTV. Ice Age was just on HBOHD, it is really incredible. ;)

I think football is the penultimate use of the HS10 and HDTV. 720P and 1080i on INHD allows a degree of appreciation that rivals being on the sideline or dangling from a blimp at 50 feet off the ground. MNF rules!

Agreed, HD football on my HS10 is about the best thing I've ever seen. I can't wait until all games on broadcast that way. So, how long will that take anyway?

Greetings,

I also love high def. via component on my HS10! I have Time Warner cable and get ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, HBO, and Showtime in high def. I also get Fox in Standard Def. ( which looked excellent during the World Series BTW ).

I had my HS10 ISF calibrated for both the DVD, and High Def inputs. Colorimetry is simply stunning, and flesh tone reproduction is excellent.

I have had mine since September, with around 205 hours on the lamp, no signs on the lamp issue. Woo hoo !


I am glad to see that others are enjoying this fine projector.


Regards,

I don't have a HS10 but I have used charter HDTV on a s1 and now a X1 here in Hurst, TX and I have to agree the quality is amazing it is hard to watch sdtv after you see the difference
