Does DigiVision Pic Enhancment work ?


My DVD video signal is projected with a Mitsubishi 55inch projection TV. Since many of us including me are never really happy with the picture quality, I would like to know whether you guys have any experience/opinion of the new 'lifesafer for large-screen TVs' DigiVision HT-70e which AA offeres recently. I am sceptical whether one can inprove the picture without increasing the resolution of the TV. The new system increases basically the contrast (edge) of pixels for 2 grand. Is it worth trying?

Yo Roger, Without knowing what DVD player or what model Mitsu TV you have, it's impossible to know if your setup is capable of delivering the s.o.t.a. picture from the DVD medium. If you have a recent progressive scan DVD player and a TV that has component video inputs and are using a good quality component video cable, then try a DVDO iScan (about $695) plus first. Generally the little iScan will outperform the set's internal doubler and give a smoother image. Friends tell me that the new DVP-S9000ES ($1500) DVD player from Sony has the best picture that they have seen. Maybe your local dealer will let you try one for a weekend. The only other suggestion would be to have the TV set tweaked by an ISF certified technician (about $150-$175). If you left it set at the factory settings, they are way too blue, too bright, and oversaturated in color. Also, make sure that the room lighting is not too bright or contrasty. I would try some or all of the above before I would go for the DigiVision.
