I wasn't going to state my opinion in case it made people think I wanted to argue with them, I don't, I just want opinions. But what the hell.
My opinion is the same as yours. DVD is by far the better quality, and the clarity is immediately visible to me even on 14" screens. On bigger TVs VHS quality starts to really betray it, with fuzzy lines and a grainy image (and it can't do 16:9). The sound on DVD is also a lot more vivid, especially if you have the sound system for it. I bought my last commercial VHS 3 years ago and only keep a player for recording.
I wanted to know what people thought because yesterday I got into a heated argument with someone who said that VHS is better or the same, and that DVD was just a commercialist attempt to make more money. Obviously, I'm of the opinion that its not.
