As above, just wired and fired my new DVD player to my Panny AE300. Its only the Sony 730 which I got for £139.00 online.
Now, as someone who has been the first to critisize the AE300 I can honestly say that it makes a massive difference. I set the DVD player to film progressive, lowered the picture, brightness and colour settings by -2 and watched region 1 T3 in awe.
Ran a couple of demos yesterday, which included my favourite PQ disks, Swordfish, SPR, Training Day and Red Dragon. All of them look even better with the occasional 'twitter' and haloing/fringing that plauged them before the upgrade are now completely gone. Superb
I also tried LOTR - Two Towers as I was really disappointed with the PQ of this DVD on my PJ. However, it honestly looks like a different film. Bold colours, no VB, smooth and filmic. Exactly as it should be.
So there we have it, a new DVD player and a hoya filter have made a load of difference and I expect to be happy with my Panny for a least ohh, six odd weeks
Thanks again to all here, have a great new year.
