Most of my friends run out and buy HDTVs after seeing my setup with a good blu-ray in. Then soon after realize it doesn't look anywhere near as good as mine. :P]]>Jul 7th 2009 2:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/

Variations of 3:3 pulldown (used for 72 Hz Pioneer plasma) includes 2:2 pulldown used to be used by Panasonic plasma, and 5:5 pulldown on some 120 Hz LCD TVs' movie mode (sans frame interpolation)]]>Jul 7th 2009 7:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Actually it is 30 fps and 60hz because most TVs were interlaced. But yeah, it would also be needed for 1080p60, but might be called 6:4 pull down, not sure.]]>Jul 7th 2009 7:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 2:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 4:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 2:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/* It makes you mad that Samsung calls its new 6000, 7000 and 8000 series LED TVs.
* You make fun of 240Hz HDTVs.
* You actually know what OAR stands for and won't watch anything but.

These are the big hitters for me. Anyone who honestly thinks LCD can compete with plasma does NOT know what they're talking about. They're getting closer, but you gotta spend an arm and a leg on an LCD that can even hope to compete with an affordable plasma.]]>Jul 7th 2009 2:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 3:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
It's saying you're a videophile (you value video quality above all else) if you don't think LCDs look better than plasma. In other words, you think Plasma looks better.]]>Jul 7th 2009 3:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 5:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 6:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
I've heard people actually use "they weigh more" as a justification for not buying a plasma. Unless you regularly bench-press your TV, it's a non-issue.]]>Jul 9th 2009 3:34AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
This one is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You do realize you can download an ENTIRE uncompressed Blu-ray image right? I can go to a torrent site and get one right now. It is 100% equivalent to having the actual disc.

Now if it would have said "You think it simply isn't possible for compressed matroska downloads to ever compare to Blu-ray in quality." or something like that, then I would agree.

As bandwidth increases, it will become more and more possible to get untouched, uncompressed, movie downloads from both legal and illegal sources.]]>Jul 7th 2009 3:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 3:39PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 4:21PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
i'm not well versed with HTPCs so please school me on the following:

even if i were to download an uncompressed blu ray rip, will I be able to play it back with the same quality as from a good set top blu ray player? for instance, will my htpc (given it's not a high end rig) handle film cadence as well as a set top player? will i get 24p output, or at least a decent 3:2? or how about blu rays which are filmed in 1080i? i know the sony BDP-S300s had trouble deinterlacing these last year. how would a HTPC fare? ]]>Jul 7th 2009 11:56PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
Some day when we're not screwing around with optical media, or any media at all (it will happen eventually). You'll just download the movie in whatever standard format the movie industry has settled on, it won't be an "image" of whatever media is being passed around in stores. That's my hope anyway. I'm talking decades from now, not next year or anything like that.]]>Jul 8th 2009 9:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
I knew four points (1080p vs 720p, 240Hz, HD downloads, LCD< Plasma).

If I had to guess OAR is over the air reception and it's better because it isn't as compressed as cable. Or I could be so wrong.

Didn't know Samsung LED TV's weren't really LED. But I don't shop for tv's so I haven't needed to investigate.]]>Jul 7th 2009 3:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
But you're kinda right too, in a way. Broadcast, technologically thus far, can't be better than Blu-ray.]]>Jul 7th 2009 6:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 4:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 3:16PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/Jul 7th 2009 3:19PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/07/07/you-know-youre-a-videophile-if/
