Sir, the typical Blu-Ray/HDDVD buyer is not going to still use an older HD set that doesnt have HDMI interface anyway, As good as they were, none of the older HD sets that dont have HDMI input are as good as the best HD sets being made at the time of BLURAY HDDVD introductions and later. The bottom line, is you wont even hardly see any differece between blu-ray/HDDVD on those older sets compared to upconverted DVD if the set is so old it doesnt have HDMI.
HD signal has been and probably still is way better than the displays at this point, I am now looking at buying my third HD set even though all of them had HDMI, they just keep getting better and better making me WANT to upgrade, not looking at it as HAVING to upgrade. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cory Papenfuss Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 7:14 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: OT - for those of you who have DVD equipthat can playPALsystemDVD's > the reason why the HD disc players dont put > out an analog HD signal is there is no > copy protection and the signal is of such high > quality it could easily be used by pirates > for DVDs and even HD bootlegs. the HDMI > outputs used have non image degrading copy protection schemes on it. > jco > I know *why* they are doing it, I just do not agree with their implementation. The sad truth is that DRM enforcements like this do *NOTHING* for real pirates, little for small-time pirates, and LOTS for the honest consumer. Granted, the average joe six-pack won't even realize that his HD set isn't outputting HD from the component of his BluRay... that doesn't make it any less devious. Like I said... they can kiss my ass and won't get a nickel from me and anyone else I can make wise to the real situation. -Cory -- ************************************************************************ * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************ * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
