With a high end video editing workstation, I like to capture video and edit DV video in the interlaced domain 60 fields per second and do my best to retain the original interlaced quality. I'm even picky about the dv codecs used because I'm so picky with quality compared to most people after shooting with an expensive DV camcorder. Even the best smart computer based deinterlacers cause quality loss, so I want to avoid that quality loss of 480i to 480p (or 540p) "interlaced to progressive" upconversion done by most HDTVs which involves deinterlacing. It destroys the video quality. My final product is always interlaced for playback through s-video or component video. So I need the display to not alter that output. As the experienced technical users and true videographers probably know, it's best to display your input in its native format rather than line doubling, deinterlacing, upconverting, or resampling. So I want accurate playback of my 480i/60fields per second DV video.
Therefore, this is what I'm looking for:
An HDTV Ready RPTV that:
Has 16:9 display 43" to 47"
Native 480i/p (doesn't upconvert 480p to 540p for display)
Lets you manually disable the line doubler/deinterlacer for all inputs
Has DVI inputs for future copy protect issues with HDTV content
Does anyone know of any HDTV sets that meets these qualifications?
If not, what's the closest match?
