Scaling artifacts: LCD vs Plasma

@Everyone


I'll tell you what I think the problem is......and this is JUST my opinion!


the Problem is Microsoft!........huh? you say?

thanks to good ole Windows and their Stupid retarded non standard Video resolutions.................DVD and movies and anything with normal Video resolutions dont look right, unless they conform to VGA type crap!

in other words 720x 480, 1440x960 and so on Versus  640x480, 800 x 600, 1024x768 (windows VGA res)

HDTV of course is a whole differet thing, but I believe all these devices conform to those Windows VGA resolutions which are wrong! for video.......Microsoft couldnt go to video.......so they made video go to them.

so now instead of being able to download true video clips  (352x240, 720x480)  you now have to be forced to use fake (320x240, 640x480)  crap and then stretch it for it to look normal or degrade it.

by the way.I  had an INFOCUS XL-1 DLP projector and it looked great with an Amiga via S-Video.

Yes! absolutely!  I got one word:  AMIGA.....   since 1985 it was known immediately!

problem is..IBM and all other machines were already conforming to COmputer screens and saw the Amiga as a Toy!  Big mistake........look at computers today! doing what Amiga was doing in 1985 - 1990's

it's their own fault that they struggle with video..they lacked Vision.


Also, even though Microsoft didnt invent the VGA standard...they most certainlky popularized the screen modes.

even Mac resolutions were different and closer to video.


Computers are becoming what Amigas were...............Funny!



PC's would have loved to become what Amigas were even in the 1980's you can see the attempts...............

just watch the COMPUTER CHRONICLES tv series.
