Quality visually looks better on TV , than LCD Monitor

[1sttimer]

I was just wondeirng is it because of the resolution of the converted DVD from ConvertXtoDVD, when played on a traditional TV it looks so much better than on my high resolution LCD screen.

anyone care to elaborate?

thanks

P.S I made a DVD in ConvertXtoDVD from a DIVX file

first look it seems you bought a "high resolution" LCD with inferior video processing. What is the source and connection?

Because your high resolution LCD screen would show every, even so little unperfection of the file very, very clearly (it even ENHANCE them), while traditional will simply... hide them...

If you mean playback on a computer monitor, it might be interlace. Unless you play back a DVD file with a player that properly handles interlace, the vertical edges or lines may look jagged. Software players like VLC, PowerDVD and others can show interlaced video properly.

If you mean a HD TV type monitor, converting from a Divx to DVD may be showing up the flaws with a higher resolution monitor.

And welcome to our forums.

Well, the second reason is that ConvertXtoDVD is by far not the best method to convert divx to dvd...

Television have very different gamma curves (brightness linearity) than computer monitors. Video looks dark and dingy on a computer monitor compared to a TV. Unless you are using a player that adjust the gamma for the monitor or have your video overlay settings adjusted to compensate.

Computer monitors normally recieve a very sharp image from the computer's graphics card. They don't sharpen the image because doing so would make it look worse. When you play a fuzzy video file on the computer monitor it will continue to look fuzzy unless you are using a player with sharpening filters.

Any television over 13 inches uses sharpening filters because analog video usually isn't very sharp to start with.
