I watched the EditDroid ANH again last night with a Sanyo progressive scan DVD player connected to a Sony 43" 16x9 NTSC HDTV info on the set here calibrated with Avia DVD Guide. The EditDroid image quality is very good. The blacks could be a touch blacker, but it is one of the best transfers I've seen yet.

Now, as far as anamorphic vs. letter-boxed, my TV allows 4 levels of zoom (16:9 zoom, 4:3, full, wide zoom). Anything 16x9 and/or anamorphic set to 16:9 zoom on the set produces the same aspect ratio. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the difference in aspect ratio between this set and the gonzo set when both are set to 16:9 zoom.

I'm also able to watch PAL videos without any noticable 'distortion' using the 16:9 zoom and my region-free DVD player. When I watch PAL on my 4:3 set the image is 'crushed', but not on the 16:9.

Any info on whether my observations are correct or not?

D.O.
