No truth in advertising

I'm sure one could find a much better example than that.

HDMI would certainly most likely provide the best picture on any
display (as would any digital input) as there is less room for
interference to affect the input signal before it gets to the TV.

The best picture is probably the closest to "true-to-life".

How about this one from a Samsung DNIe presentation... (http://
www.samsung.com.br/dnie/)

"The signal is passed through a six-times density enhancer, motion
optimizer, contrast enhancer, detail enhancer, color optimizer, and
image optimizer, ultimately providing the viewer with the vivid
sensation of a natural picture.".

"DNIe has the ability to reproduce a lifelike ultra high-definition
picture from any signal to any kind of display device..."

With all that processing, how could it possibly look natural. I've
heard that the latest Samsung models (HLR series) don't allow you to
turn off DNIe. I sure hope that isn't true.

I have a 32" Sony CRT in my bedroom with a DVI HDCP input. I hooked my
Samsung DVD player up to the monitor using the DVI in and the result is
that the blacks are crushed. This is the case with both upconverted
signals and 480p. My feeling is that this would not be the case if it
were connected to a DLP or LCD display. That was my point regarding
their claim that HDMI on a traditional display is the most life like.

That one specific problem is more likely a DVD player problem. In
fact, I've seen a couple of Samsung DVD models that definitely have
that problem.

I would maintain that with a proper input, their claim is not at all
off base.

Anthony, while they may be basing their statement
on HDMI enabling the viewer to receive an ALL
Digital signal without being converted to analog
somewhere in the process, I agree it sounds like
Marketing hype.
However, the commercial that "coined" the "High
Definition Windows" - I think this is
just good Advertising sense. (I liked the Ad and
smiled when I first saw it - It started me
thinking about how many other ways "High
Definition" might be used. It indicates that
"High Definition" is becoming a familiar enough
term, that other businesses see the value in
relating their products to it. And it may help to
keep the public focused on High Definition,
instead of the common mis-use of 'Digital TV' as
being equal to High definition TV.

Yes it's definitely becoming a household word. I'm sure I'm being anal
but given the fact that the average person really doesn't understand the
definition of high definition it appeared to me that the term was being
diluted before the public at large really understands it. Like I said,
I'm anal.

Anthony,

What do you mean exactly with "blacks crushed"?, that they have become washed?

Check the setup menu of the DVD player to verify if when using the DVI connection the menu sets
itself to an IRE of 7.5 in the black setup (which would make the blacks look as less deep as the 0
setting for example). If it is, set it to 0 and compare with the analog connection.

It might also happen that you need to calibrate the TV digital inputs and analog inputs to ISF specs
and store them into memory so they show same levels of video settings.


Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

As a lot of sets (this may be one) immediately convert analog video to
digital, the use of HDMI may eliminate one D>A and A>D cycle: hence
"closest to true life".

I hooked this up after I had the set calibrated. The blacks are not
washed they are too black if that makes any sense and subsequently
detail is lost. I will check the set up menu however and see if there
is anything there regarding the DVI connection. That may help.

Thanks Rodolfo.

The best part about the product being sold, paper towels (for high
definition windows) is the faint/brief disclaimer that appears on
screen. I believe it says "when used with a streak-free cleaner"...
kinda like those HDTVs... when used with an HD decoder....

Correct, many Samsung DVD players clip the blacks above 0IRE over
their DVI output. Detail that should be there is simply lost.
