In Reply to: 4:3 NTSC on 16:9 CRTs posted by Kurt Strain on December 4, 2002 at 08:59:57:
***First question: how hard is it really on a good CRT if you do this for 4 hours per day?***4 hours of TV per day is worse on your brain than it is on the TV. Seriously though, I have no idea since I've never done it. I always expand the 4:3 picture to 16:9. I can tell you that there are folks who have burned 4:3 images onto their 16:9 tubes, so obviously it can be done.
***Next question: I have a 32" Sony Wega that can do a "raster squeeze", or 16:9 "enhanced mode" for DVDs. Can I expect a real improvement by going to a digital TV with DVD? Should I forget it and stay put until HDTV really starts up?***
If you're satisfied with your 32" picture, I'd wait a year or two. Enhanced DVDs offer visible improvement on large screen sizes...I don't know about small 32" screens. I have no idea what YOU would define as a real improvement, but keep in mind that the best you can get out of DVD pales in comparison to high definition.
