Default You can fool the ear with lo-res digital....

....but you sure can't fool the eye!

These 'tie' pics were taken from the (paused) animation 'Up' Blu-ray Disk*
projected onto a 120 inch screen from a via a 1080p digital projector

They are not full screen height - probably about 3 feet high in real terms,
but represent a blindidng *night and day* improvement over even the very
best DVD quality at this image size. Smaller displays will produce less
impressive compared results, of course and truly ****ty small displays may
even mask the differences completely....

The pix are nothing fancy - quick, handheld 'manual everything' grabs from a
Nikon digital SLR with a Zeiss Planar 1.4/50mm MF lens; settings as follows:

White Balance - AUTO
ISO - 800
Shutter - 1/60 sec (so ignore colour banding on the shirt)
Aperture - halfway click between f4 and f5.6

Anyone mired in obsolete 'pre HD' technology and wanting to climb aboard
without being taken to the cleaners (all at once) might want to know that a
'scart to HDMI converter' search will yield 238,000 results.

No idea how they work or how effective, though....


*What else? :-)
