Ghost in the Shell On LCD TV
I donno if i should ask this question here or not. But i figure it relates to GITS. Did anyone here watch thier GITS stand alone complex and GIG on thier LCD-TV? I got a new 32 inch LCD TV, and when i start watching GITS on the new TV. the colour and detail had a great improvement but it lost all the crisp image when I watch it on my 37 sony 4:3 tv. Does that happen to anyone.
its probably more related to your LCD-TV than anything else..
mainly due to the native resolution of your LCD-TV vs your Sony..
DVDs are 720x480 resolution while your LCD-TV is probably 1280x720 or, if its a good one its 1920x1080..
because of this the TV has to scale the DVD upto the 1280x720 (or the LCD-TVs native resolution).. this can sometimes make the image look less than crisp..
on my 37" Westinghouse LCD TV, at a native resolution of 1920x1080, some DVDs can look less than spectacular. But if you watch HDTV that is at a native 1920x1080 resolution it looks stunning.
so its less the DVD and more that DVD's are nonHD..
hopefully HD-DVD will take off enough that players will get cheaper and then everything will be released in glorious HD-DVD high resolution format.

All of them? Well, that's good news - I wasn't sure if all of them had that property. But they'll never get it as good, as they would be without scaling. That would make the HD-DVDs and Blue Rays rather pointless, in themselves.
In any case, I'll wait until they'll be tenth of their current price ($1000 apiece).
