This is truly a fantastic looking 16:9 picture, almost on a par with the HDNET image. |
O.K. Frank, now I feel better. I couldn't live with a post from you relative to HBO HD without the words "soft" "inferior to DVD" or "image constrained". I can get on with life again! I guess you do have the same setup. |
Now I know you'll eternally disagree with me, but I felt this was only a notch or so above The Patriot! |

I agree with you, Ken. I fail to understand why so many continue to compare video and film based HD. We know they inherently have different appearances and I just don't see the basis or rationale for trying to compare the two unless someone is advocating that all material, including movies, be video based. |
Originally posted by Frank Why not compare them? The two biggest differences between HDvideo based material and 35MM film based material is : 1. Depth of field 2. modulation transfer function Frank |
Originally posted by Frank How do you explain the fact that HDvideo always looks so much more detailed then film transfers even though 35MM film is capable of so much more? 'Small Time Crooks' looks fantastic to me and yet the show I just saw about Denmark on PBS looks almost an order of magnitude sharper. Frank |
