I'v just seen ANH GOUT PAL DVD on a friends setup. His dvd-standalone player is connected via YUV Component Out (Progressive Out) to his DLP Panasonic AE-9000 projector. We have a 2,4meter (over 7 feet) width screen wall.

At first it starts okay. We all know that the title crawl is not from the laserdisc master, so this scene is not represantative for what the movie is like in terms of quality. So we cut to the next scene...

Okay, the picture is dirty sometimes, but it's not only that, the most distracting (bad) is the shaking picture. It's not stable! Extremely irritating, and something like that brings you out of the movie.

To top that the noise is extremely visible on the big screen.

And I must say that I have never seen a movie more pixelized than this one on his setup. That brings you out of the movie, too.

Maybe some of those things are due to the NTSC2PAL Conversion they did for the PAL Release. I will try to get my hands on the NTSC GOUT as well. And I will do some tests via HDMI-connection to better use the native resolution of the dlp.

It was a bad cinema experience, really.

I've seen the SSE2004 DVD on the same setup. There are worlds between those two.

I am sure the X0-Project will do a far better job.
