(What you've pointed out in the article is crap, BTW)
I hate to point this out, but the article is completely accurate as far as it goes, it does not mention MPEG artifacts which only occur on DVD, but the resolution, component picture and dynamic range comments (which DVD is superior to LD and much superior to VHS) are all completely accurate. Given a well done compression, just the fact that DVDs are component and the other two alternatives are composite give you a huge gain in picture quality of the DVD vs its commercial competitors as long as you are going component or Y/C to your screen. As good as my Digital Beta?? No, but better then my VHSs, HI-8 or my beloved laser disks?? Absolutely.
