i thought the colours are alot more natural and life like it always helps to calibrate the set tho using something like dve
component is more vivid and eye catching but to sit and watch it id get pissed off and headaches
the bars i just live with i mean i hav ebeen watching widescreen...
using component for me gives me an image that has been drawn by a 3 yearold with a box of neon crayons its garish even after been tweaked the colours via vga are much more natural and its a better format
watched indiana jones the other night and it looked very very nice via vga
its not stupid really
you need a film that you can use as a benchmark and to impress people with you thousands of pounds spent on homecinema stuff lol you have to try and make it look worthwhile ;)
its funny the gf asked me the other day why there were still black bits on it now we had a widescreen tv i thought about trying to explain but i just gave up lol
2.39 is its real name its a 35mm anamorphic filmstock used from 1970 onwards
there are so many different ratios
1.19:1: "Movietone" - early 35 mm sound film ratio used in the late 1920s and early 1930s, especially in Europe. The optical soundtrack was placed on the side of the 1.33 frame...
if you look on the back of the dvd box it will tell you the aspect ratio 1.85 will fill the screen 2.35 will have black bars but you can stretch it to fit
because component is analogue where as dvi and hdmi are digital and have a much higher bandwidth than component they can support 1080p component only 1080i
yes if you select 1080 on component it will display fine tho as the tosh will accept 1080i inputs then rescale them to 1366x766 or something but via vga it does progressive only so your stuck with 768 max
mine is 1080p tho
i take it you have a plasma then ?
if its physical resolution check the book or website is 1024x768 then yes select that you will get a better picture as it wont need to scale it yet again
either either both the same for average user unless you have super human ears and a huge wallet to but high end hifi stuff
i find component a bit soft sometimes
there are some isues with lipsync and hdmi outputs
also hdmi is used as its a single cable to carry video and sound and is capable of carying a digital high def signal. the only other connections capable of highdef are component(analogue and only carry video) and dvi (essentially the same as...
i agree but atleast the 360 has the ability to scale things unlike the ps3 that doest have a scaler so we are doing better on that front if you tv does only do 720p or some something else
