Lip Sync Problems with New Digital Displays?

Posted by simoniker on Friday April 23, 2004 @06:28AM from the kung-fu-movie-syndrome dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With all of the new digital TV displays flying out the door, its easy to to think that life is good on the road to high definition. But, as Audioholics reports today, cheaper displays are using inexpensive processors that result in video delays of up to 60 milliseconds (that's about 2 frames of video). This means that the video processing (deinterlacing, video scaling, etc) delays the picture so that the audio is out of sync. Add to this inherent delays in some LCD and plasma units and the problem can be more than a little noticeable. As of right now only a few manufacturers are building audio lip-sync delay into their products to compensate."

Well, "Seven Samuri" is pretty much the main example of a Japanese film inspiring a Western (and Kurosawa claimed he himself was inspired by earlier Westrens), and "The Magnificent Seven" wasn't even a Spaghetti Westren (unless Mexico has become part of Italy).

Seems like pretty flimsy evidence to support the assumption that "Spaghetti Westerns were all based on Japanese films".
