That depends on the definition of "quality". If yours is "color resolution" - absolutely! If the definition is "luminance resolution during high motion", VHS can win easily. Compression artifacts vs color under heterodyne junk. I don't like either one!! Long live one-inch type C!! > Worse still many (most?)

I have - or did have - quite a number that were letterboxed - so the image was not cut off. Instead the vertical resolution goes way down because 1/3 of the screen is black (wasted space) to make it fit a 4:3 window. -- Philip, thinking like a luddite. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
