LOL, like I said, some here have HUGE boners over these laserdiscs still, and it cracks me up, and to think the X0 is SO great is funny to, I looked at the raw captures of Star wars(I think Zion is the one that upped it) and it is NO different than my raw capture after IVTC from my Pioneer Elite CLD-79, but some just think they are going to make a "Grail" from this, well that is cool, I CAN'T wait to see a laserdisc capture masterfully upscaled to 1080p with this so called, black magic, gray magic, white magic process, too funny, my opinion only, well it seems I am not alone in it.
Laserdiscs had their purpose a few years ago, now they serve NO purpose but for audio, or special features, or maybe a scene or two, or color examples, etc. these just look like pure SHIT on nowaday systems, and if you don't think so, then YOU don't have a nowaday HDTV setup, unless it is in the 20 inch or smaller range.
Laserdisc still serves a purpose it is the only place outside of vhs you can watch the original American Graffiti or THX 1138, and we all know all the gout was a laserdisc master ported over.
Lucas is probably the only person i know of outside of Disney who keeps their classics altered without offering choice.
Yeah it does, like I said above, to people that do NOT have a nowaday HDTV setup these and VHS tapes are just fine, but you get into a large 65" HDTV and setups like that and these look like SHIT! plain and simple, very, very hard to watch.
and so what, the opening of American Graffiti is different, big deal, the Blu-ray MOPS the floor with the LD and VHS in video and audio, sorry, and THX-1138, this is one of the strangest, most boring movies I have every seen, but looking at the screens here at this site, again, the Blu-ray mops the floor with them screens no doubt about it, no offense to all involved but it is fact.
Sky you must still have an old picture tube TV and only listening to the audio out of the TV, because if all these LD's look great to you, more power to you I guess, but most are WAY past that now, Home Theater has come a very long way I tell you.
