region 1 or pal, better picture?


My dvd player will play any region dvd. I know the specs for region 1 and pal are quite different. I have 1080 display and the player will upscale to 1080. Does anyone know which plays better quality picture overall? Some hard to find region 1 dvds are quite expensive and cheaper to order from UK in pal format. Any advice is appreciated.

it depends on the quality of the film to tape to dlt transfer. in theory, PAL is superior(more lines of resolution).....in practice its a title by title, region by region, fiasco. the brand of the dvd company(for indy stuff) is the most important thing to follow...their reputation. even the majors do not always use the same source material.....sounds like audio, huh
