Nov 29, 2001 10:23 AM | | Yup, HDTV best resolution, Progessive DVD, DVD, SVHS, VHS, broadcast TV...I think ths is the order of resolution. Well, some of these have the same theoretical res but broadcast TV is more susceptible to degradation of signal because it must be broadcast. |

Should be HDTV, progressive DVD, DVD, S-VHS, broadcast TV(330 lOR) and VHS(240 LOR)
VHS is theoritically our lowest resolution format. Although broadcast is suceptable to ghosting, increased noise, and other interference, its resolution in the absence of all of these is 330 lines.

Nov 30, 2001 11:12 AM | | I think this is really the thrust of the original post. Can an HDTV take a regular broadcast TV and improve it using line-doubling? Or, to take it a step further, will all sources look better on an HDTV because of line-doubling? Slightly? Dramatically? |

Dec 4, 2001 4:39 AM | | Thanks Mike, that is what I was trying to ask but I didn't know it, and after some reading I've found out that Toshiba's and Sony's rptv's have excellent line doublers.
Do you agree?
So now I'm going to look into Toshiba or Sony, although I hate paying the extra $$ for the Sony. |
