Is 480p "good enough" for you?
Posted by 4season on June 28, 2007 at 14:13:54:
I have a brand-new 32" Sharp LCD and Toshiba HD-A20 HD DVD player. The two are configured for 1080p, connected via HDMI, and "Planet Earth" in true high-def is a sight to see! But for most of the other HD movies I've watched to date:
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
40 Year Old Virgin
Failure To Launch
Batman Begins
Bourne Supremacy
Pitch Black
Manchurian Candidate
Babel
(and so on)
Although the clarity and definition look terrific if I concentrate on them, I usually prefer to just let myself get sucked into the story, and when I do that, the differences between a good upscaled 480p DVD and true 1080p high-def seems pretty minor (documentaries like Planet Earth excepted!)
What do you folks think?
