I always assumed that Blu Ray would look much better no matter what. I was always told that 1080p and i were the same for movies as they are displayed at 24fps as said in the article here: http://www.hometheatermag.com/gearworks/1106gear/ Theres many other articles that agree......either way I need to see those 2 movies as well. |
No, that's a lie. Its just a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo. Occasionally a TV doesn't deinterlace properly, but very few new sets have that problem. Go to Best Buy and watch a 1080p tv and watch a 1080i tv and tell me that they look the same. I mean I have read countless arguments as to why they look the same, but if you go to the store, it is pretty much impossible to say that they do look the same. Obviously if the TV is hooked up to a Blu-Ray player this is easier.
I have yet to watch any movies in my home at 1080p, but I can guarantee you that every movie I have watched in 720p looked a lot better than movies in 1080i, and I even watched those 1080i movies on a larger screen (which brings out the detail even better). I remember watching Ratatouille in 1080i on a 52" inch screen being a worse experience than watching it on a full-screen 30" TV (so it had black bars...what a pain...) in 720p. That is because I am very well trained at discerning when a picture is better or worse.
The motion was so fluid and everything on the screen just seemed to pop out at me. It was so gorgeous...It looked good on the 1080i set, but I noticed an instant difference when I watched it on a SMALLER 720p set.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
