Pity me. I still have a HLD-X9 laserdisc player.

I’ve seen Harmy’s v2.5 anh and also Esb 2.0. Waiting for rotj 2.0 in a few weeks?

Today I watched rotj definitive collection laserdisc on my hldx9. It’s currently hooked up to a very old crt tv though.

I couldn’t enjoy it because of the lack of detail which Harmy has now spoiled us with.

I paid a lot for it, so I’m not about to get rid of it.

I just wondered if anybody uses laserdisc anymore and has used it with e.g. an upscaler on a hdtv. How would it hold up to harmy’s efforts?

The Wednesday night before the release of TFA, my wife and I hosted a Classic Original Trilogy movie night for several friends. My Definitive Collection LaserDisc set, played on my Pioneer CLD-D702 LD player and displayed on my 55" Panasonic VT50 plasma TV, looked fuzzy and scaled poorly to fit the width of the 16:9 screen. BUT it was an awesome experience nonetheless. Glad I’ve kept the player and box set all these years (Day One purchase for me). Still hoping a proper restoration such as the Legacy project is released one day soon by Disney/Lucasfilm.
