Thats the idea of ISF you can calibrate the individual connected source they calibate it for inbuild SD and assume one connects a bs2 as a DVDsource and that explains why the image is so good for SD I cant vouch for the BS3 range of IS adjustments but I can confirm the panasonic panel is full of options in this regard( this is the BV4/9

Mox, Im not trying to wind anyone up! The complaints relate mainly to the technology itself- one cant expect what some individuals seem to want if its beyond the capability of the technology!

Hi there On the subject of Pioneer plasma- yes excellent performers as an all in one solution with full isf calibration software available. This is the best solution if you want everything in one box. What seems to tip the balance though is a high end processor - like a lumagen paired up to the panasonic panel and this seems to be as good as it gets

The BV9 and bv4 are isf calibrated as they leave the factory- the panasonic screen allows for a whole host of changes to be made which makes the screen of of choice for the professionals who set up home cinemas. In respect of lcd I dont know- except to say no one home cinema operator I am aware of uses LCD in high end set ups

It was an unwise decision to integrate it, but as has proved here, there are individuals that will buy it because it has the feature- even if it might not prove to be very good. The overall darkening is bought about by the screen filter, which just makes the image to dark and no amount of adjustment seems to remedy it

Ive been away for a while- hence the silence! If we all recal we had a long debate about HD audio, and when it was mentioned about the 'new bv7' it was clear that only the sony solution would allow to BR player to play SD discs in as good a manner- with HD audio. I dont think we should bang on to much about picture processing and 1080p- this

csmager: 355f: Already explained in detail on the previous thread time and time again- im not going over it again and again so that Razlaw and trip can rubbish it all over again- its pointless. I'd agree with Martin that this hasn't been explained. I just read the whole of the other thread, and the total detail of the tests was effectively 'plugged

martin01: We dont have to argue anymore about the sound-quality with HD-audio in beosystem 3. But the intrerest thing is that 355f will not explane HOW he has done his tests (in detail) to get his conclusion that BS3 not fully support HD-audio with decoded PCM-sound (from a bluray-player). He just says that BS3 DOES NOT support it. So why can you (355f

martin01: Hi 355f, read this article from HDTV-magazine: It says that a HDMI 1.1-receiver is all good to handle Multichannel PCM even for the decoded new HD-sounds. www.hdtvmagazine.com Multi-channel Audio for HD By Rodolfo La Maestra on April 21, 2006 This is an excerpt from the HDTV Technology Review 2006 Report by Rodolfo La Maestra. We had not planned

Razlaw: soundproof: Quite explicitly stated earlier in this thread, Martin. 355f has carried out parallel tests, and extensive comparisons. Why does B&O take such delight in ridiculously short and uninformative answers? What would have been nice, would have been to get the exact specifications of the signal processing, information that every other
