Copied DVDS on HDTV / Plasma Screens

[Dkreaky]

before I put in my hard earn money on these big TVS...

i was wondering..

for anyone that has a Projection/Plasma. or LCD screen (46 inches or bigger)

how burned DVDS look on your system?

regardless of what compression software you use...

how is the overall quality compared to the original?

They look wonderful on my 48 JVC.

Most (25% or under compression) burned DVD's look great on my 50" Samsung DLP unit.

You know about a week after I bought my 48 inch JVC at BestBuy I go back in and they have the then new Samsung DLP on display. Sort of pissed me off because it was just a few dollars more than what I paid for the JVC but the big thing is it's one half the depth of most projection TV's. Also I hear that the contrast ratio of the DLP sets is much better than the standard projection TV. How do you like yours?

I've had it for about a month now. I am real happy with the DLP unit. The HDTV output is incredible. My biggest concern with a RPTV set was screen burn-in. I watch a lot of CNBC with the ticker tape going during the day, and I was afraid that I would get burn-in. Therefore my only choices in large screen TV's was a LCD or a DLP. I chose the DLP because I felt the picture quality was better, especially the blacks.

I am trying to decide now whether to get an ISF calibration or order a tune-up DVD so that I can peak the performance of the set. I have been told that there is quite a difference in before and after tweaks.

If you keep the compression low, it looks just fine. Can you tell the difference? I can. But it's certainly livable.

If it's a bigger movie, just split it to two discs. If you can afford a massive TV, you can probably afford a DVD changer, yeah? *wink*
