I won't argue that. The store was giving these away at half price the year I got it and then they came out with ProScan. It's great with a good signal, but absolute crap with VCR tape or weak over the air. Even LaserDisc through a top of the line Pioneer seemed weak. But DVDs are sharp and bright with great contrast and no color bleed. It seems that RCA had mastered the color gamut pretty well (still weak in turquoise) but didn't delve into the world of compensation for various defects in signals. On the other hand, I bought a little JVC 19" the same year and every source shown on it was saturated and razor sharp and high contrast. I bought a 32" JVC flat tube a couple of years ago, and they've continued that tradition into the present day. There is a lot of voodoo science in making all sources look acceptable on a phosphor screen. RCA gave up too early... But I love the old ColorTrak2000 for DVDs and will look forward to a new life for it with the HDTV converters, when available. Anybody have any thoughts on verrtical compression on older sets? I'm thinking of installing a switch to have a second potentiometer in the vertical size circuit. The 32" JVC has this feature and it makes a picture as sharp as PAL or even French SECAM. |
