 <( Standard television only has 525 lines of resoulition. Think of it as a picture that is only 525 pixels high. On the computer screen it is really small. High Definition Television HDTV is twice that amount, more or less, so instead of having 525 lines of resoulition you have 1050. Of course anything old that was made for 525 would look like crap. Just like if you had an image that was 525 and expanded it to double the size it would look pixelated.News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

but my friend has a top of the line HD tv (over $5000) and regular ntsc and dvd's look GREAT despite line doubling, and HD HBO looks as smooth as magazine photos.

yeah a lot of people find digital too sharp in audio and video. i myself turn the sharpness down a little or keep the treble flat or down a touch. | |

now that's just silly! I think that a lot of people are also getting unkowingly ripped off by cheaper lcd hdtv's that have a low contrast ratio, it makes stuff look like shit, and doesn't reflect what the pic is supposed to look like. LCD tv's in general are bad unless you pay more money for a high contrast ratio.

presets are definitely out of wack, I agree with you, but if you are a videophile you'll calibrate your monitor and if you calibrate it properly you would turn down the artificial sharpening and lower the birghtness and contrast to keep things from getting blown out, oversaturated, and distorted. BUT, I just saw a film print of the beginning of purple rain and it blows away the recent dvd release. Because of the amount of detail and clarity! Just in the opening silhouette of prince, you can see so much more, like his eyes, wisps of smoke n the air. The only way to get this at home on a monitor is through hidef on a good calibrated hidef tv.
