Belkin @ CEDIA - HDMI RazorVision

RazorVision is that in-line processor that supposedly enhances the image on the fly. Does it work? The demo at CEDIA did produce a 'better' picture (right) on the enhanced side by increasing the contrast and brightness just like advertised. Unfortunately the product doesn't help the sharpness levels though. Talk about a noisy picture on the Razerwire side (again right). Maybe it was the LCD they were using but something tells that many of you would take the non-enhanced side (left) with less noise the the 'better' picture on the right. Hopefully we can get some review units in to test it even farther as this one is still undecided.

I sell these at the TV store I work in. We have a unit up on display hooked up so a Sony SXRD (first the XBR1, now its hooked up to the new model SXRD, the A2000). The source is a Sony DVR loop thats in 1080p to show off the advantages of SXRD.

This unit is a complete waste of money. Its exactly how you described it. While the colors get a boost, the sharpness suffers big time. Your much better off spending this money on having the TV professionally calibrated, or on buying a calibration DVD yourself. When I first got them in I sold one thinking they were good. Ever since I hooked it up, I refuse to even offer them. Most of the time I turn the demo off all together.
