LCoS Shoot-Out Results
mikemuch writes "DisplayMate founder Ray Soniera has revealed the results of his LCoS HDTV Shoot-Out. He puts five HDTV's through a slew of test pattern measurements, and then lets 34 real people, including home-theater lay people and experts, conduct jury tests and make comments. There was one case where the experts gave low marks to a display that the lay people loved. From the article: 'We spent some time trying to understand why the consumer panelists rated the JVC Consumer unit so highly. It had the lowest objective on-screen resolution of all of the units, because of internal signal processing, but a number of consumer panelists commented on how sharp it looked. The copious artifacts and significant edge enhancement produced so much artificial texture in the image that some panelists interpreted it as superior sharpness. All of the Video Experts recognized this effect and gave the unit the lowest score.'"
You mean to tell me that people unqualified to make a judgment call about something don't necessarily make the best decision?!?
This guy's the limit!
On Sony TVs, those black bars are grey.

I never understood this, mainly because I have no clue about aspect ratios and anything useful in video terms. But if 16 is 4 squared and 9 is 3 squared, if you square the video area, why is there any change in ratio?
