The DrGonzo set, or the Anamorphic set as we called it then, was the first set I ever got, and figured if this is all I could ever get I would be happy as I was impressed at the effort that was put into providing all the supplemental materials, and creating those decent looking menus as well as nice anamorphic picture and Dolby compressed audio.

When I first got the TR47 set and watched it on PC I was heavily disappointed as the clarity was awful in regards to encoding, and seemed a lot dirtier. Yet when I watched it on my TV which is a 2 year old Panasonic 68cm that although sounds measely compared to todays HD plama sets, is still a kick ass set to compare DVDs with.

On it the TR47 seemed sharper and the colours much stronger. I believe that the only reason DrGonzo seems to be blurry is because it was made anamorphic from a source that wouldn't exaclty be the smartest way to make an anamorphic version, but unfortunately we have no other way of doing it.

Truth is whether the new sets being ripped are made anamorphic or not, I'm glad I have the DrGonzo set so when I move out and get a 16:9 TV I'll have a set that does not require zooming in to watch "correctly", as I believe it is a rediculous idea to do so, and probably won't look as blurry when doing so. That's just my opinion.
