Re: [ps3] Standard DVD's on PS3 Yes you will get a better DVD picture due to the upscaling it does to the picture. I saw a very noticeable difference compared to my DVD player back when I got the PS3. Now I have a big screen HD television and I'm still amazed at the difference. Sometimes I'm hard pressed to think I'm seeing HD quality (especially the Pixar DVDs).
Obviously DVDs won't give you HD quality no matter how good the upscaling is, but man the PS3 sure does give you the best that ole' format can give. |

kudos:3 | I agree, the upscaling on the PS3 is excellent! |

| Another vote up, PS3 is one of (if not the...) best upscaler from SD to HD.  |

| I didn't know they even still made those. CRT HD was hot stuff back in 2005, but I think there's a reason you don't see them sold these days. Try the comparison on a newer HD television with a contrast ratio larger than 500,000.1. |

Try the comparison on a newer HD television with a contrast ratio larger than 500,000.1. LCDs/plasmas can not do Yellows good as CRT's
Dynamic contrast is not the same as real contrast more likely it's only 1000:1 ratio
it's just a e-pens thing
I had a LCD with a Dynamic contrast of 40000 to 1
real contrast was only 1000:1 ratio (was $1,000 at the time)
( me and my bro went 1/2 on it)
it sucked i could not see a damn thing when gaming
took it back and got a used CRT best money I ever spent!
got a nice 30" HD Trinitron 1920*1080i [W I D E S C R E E N] with HDMI
supports 480i/p 720p 1080i @24hz(not as bad as it sounds) 30hz & 60Hz input
only paid $150 for it
i should be able to resell it for 150 easy when i upgrade to the 36" XBR Trinitron CRT HD TV
the sound is amazing on the 36"/34" XBR Trinitron CRT HD TV 16:9 
i going to ask my Uncle if I can buy it from him
he's planing on getting a LCD screen soon |

| Sorry to hear your LCD/Plasma experiences were bad. I have one of those Samsung LED backlit high def LCD TVs and the contrast and color is amazing. It's also 52" so I don't know how viable that size is for CRT (including cost). I'm generally against using sound as part of my decision to purchase a TV. Running sound through a good external system will always beat out TV speakers. If you don't already have a receiver and nice surround speakers yet I recommend it. |

I did replace the speakers with larger ones (book shelf type)
the Sound on his tv was still better, the TV has a built in sub for "2.1 "
Acoustics also come into play also |
