New fangled TVs and distorted images

Posted by jdemaris on January 02, 2015 at 07:59:52 from (70.194.10.115):

Been some discussion here, off and on, in reference to digital TVs, HD screens, tuner differences, etc. I just posted some of this on an older thread but figured I'd put it here as new post also.

Some might complain about big screens that cannot interpret the image properly and make it look like a fun-house mirror. I've noticed quite a few new TVs that cannot properly process an older 4.3 type image and make it look "normal." I've got an LG here that is two years old and no matter what aspect setting is picked - it cannot display a 4.3 image without distorting it. To the converse, my 4 year old RCA and brand-new Emerson do it fine. Also my very older LCD TV that is one of the first digital LCD TVs sold in the US - processes all images just fine.

Also found the same with several Sony TVs and DVD players. In fact, I've got a brand new Sony DVD player with HDMI that cannot play older movies without distortion. And yes it as a set-up menu depending on what sort of image aspects are being viewed. None will correct the distortion. Works great with newer movies on DVDs. Work terrible on older DVDs of old movies, TV shows, etc. After many calls to Sony tech -they told me their HDMI cannot properly display older movies and there is NO setting to correct it.

You'd think with all this high tech -somebody could come up with a TV, DVD player, or Blue Ray play that could not only properly display all TV and movie images - but also sense the format and do the aspect-change for you.

On another subject - when it comes to Plasma or LCD screens of 720 or 1080 resolution, or DVD movies versus Blue Ray - I wonder how many people can really see the difference? I've checked many side-by-side and with some I see NO difference. Usually a subtle difference with an HD image between 720 and 1080. But with DVD versus Blue Ray? I can usually perceive no difference yet when I burn a DVD it's often 5-6 gigabytes, whereas a Blue Ray is 25-50 gigabytes.
