I have some sympathy for that view, Andre (as indeed you and I often agree on these things)... Betamax was WAY better than VHS, but the 'big boys' wanted the latter to succeed for commercial reasons, so once again marketing triumphed over performance! :rolleyes:
As for TVs, we have a 12-year old Sony Trinitron CRT TV, and it's going nowhere until it pops its clogs... First of all because I refuse to chuck out a perfectly good TV, which is functioning just fine, simply to be 'up to date', and secondly, because I find that the colours look much more natural on CRT TVs.
The colours on LCDs and plasmas just look wrong (artificial), to my eyes!

Yep too right. I wouldnt be seen dead with a pre recorded Beta tho ;)
Yeah, I know what you mean :)

You're not wrong there. I have a 30-year old 18" Mitsubishi CRT telly that has much better colour fidelity than any plasma, LCD or LED screen I've seen demonstrated. It may not be "hi-def", but it's staying!Quote:

But I've moved away from both now! Having worked in film and tv for 20 years, accuracy and high resolution is important to me in an image. There are some stunning new tv's out there but they need careful calibration to get the best out of them, so you'll get the natural colours you want. Worth remembering that the vast majority of dealers who sell these fancy tv's don't bother setting them up right to demo them. Also worth bearing in mind that the vast majority of people who buy them probably don't bother to set them up right either!!
Well it's like this Audio fans that are working by Spec are not gonna get anywhere imho..I work by my Tabs (Audio) & goggles (Visual).i'm not intrested what era they are from but they more often than not land back in late 60's/Early 70's, sometimes early 80's!!..Not getting anywhere are we??
