How much resolution is lost with checkerboard pattern technology? 1/2?pixel67 wrote:Still uses the checkerboard pattern to display 3D so at least we are seeing some consistency in accepted formats in the HDTV industry.
) on my knowledge of these, I used to spend a lot of time at avsforum where all the really rich guys hang out. I remember them getting all excited when sony and others started talking about lasers and sxrd and lots of other buzzy words. I started seeing prices like 100K to 200K US dollars - more than my lotus and some affaciando's talking about million dollar home theater/gaming systems with lasers. They assured me the lasers were brighter and contrast levels superior but I thought if I can get 95% of their experience for 5% of the cost I couldn't be considered "elite" or "purist" but have money left over for a private plane or second vacation home, it's all about priorities. One time this guy had me over in his house with his solid gold special made audio cables that were many thousands of dollars and I read about some website testing similar cables to a metal coat hanger that cost a dollar reproducing the audio fidelity and he assured me he could hear the difference. He enlightened me we could spend the next many hours or days for him to educate me and convince me of his wise investment, but life is short and I just didn' have the time to learn ;( We walked out into his garage and he had a mosler kevlar fiber supercar that he assured me was also far superior at 400K to the new vette zr1 at 100K and I didn't have time to learn about that wise investment either. Perhaps you just need more time in your life for these people to educate you to your ignorance?CraziFuzzy wrote:I , personally, don't see what the laser light source is supposed to add over the LED's that samsung is using, except perhaps an extra buzzword, and more cost. It still uses the exact same 1920x540/2 checkerboard 120Hz wobulated TI DLP chip to generate the image from the light source...
