Problem is, you're now comparing their apples to your oranges. Even if the make and model of the TV set in question were identical, and you were viewing them side-by-side in the very same room, you could still have individual variations that would cause one to look better than the other under certain circumstances. Until you're doing a double-blind comparison with both input formats on both TVs and they don't know which TV is which or which video input is which (they're both labelled just "A" and "B"), and you're using exactly the same input subject matter (just in two different formats) can they begin to give you an objective comparison. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
