Re: Motorola HD Quality vs direct QAM feed Quality -NBC Football
Hey thanks for testing that out on your end!
When I did my checks I made sure the basic settings were similar, such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, and tint between the QAM tuner and the Motorola box.
I now set the Motorola box to output 1080i, which is normally ill advised for a 1024x768 native plasma screen. In my normal viewing habits it seems that I watch more 1080i channels than the 720p ones. The crispness comes alive on these 1080i native channels such as NBC, CBS, Mojo, Discovery HD Theater.
The 720p native channels like the ESPN's or ABC look a little softer, but they still look pretty good.
The Motorola box just doesn't appear to convert 1080i to 720p all that well. Fine horizontal white lines appear to have a slight flicker to them.
I'm using a DCT-6412 with a DVI to HDMI cable. |
