![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And from what I've heard from users about madVr's learning curve I get the sense that if JRiver and something like an Nvidia 1650 4GB card alone can't match the Oppo's scaling powers that I might be unable to get madVR to do so either. While aware of video scaling software I've no actual experience with any such apps. But the concern here is if the HTPC I will now soon have built has the Nvidia 1650 card will that and JRiver alone be enough to equal the scaling quality of my Oppo 95? But while DVDs don't have the DTS-MA audio quality that BDs do for JRiver to decode, the lossy Dolby Digital on many of my DVDs may still sound quite respectable through the surround system which JRiver will feed via USB. I don't doubt that the scalers in my Oppo 95, and hopefully my Pioneer LX500, can make my DVDs look respectable at least on the plasma under my viewing conditions. Question: How much of a performance boost-at least for watching DVDs-would I gain if I had the repair shop or one of the experts here calibrate the plasma?Īnd can that be done in the shop-after telling the tech that I keep my entire room dimly lit whenever watching TV and from 10+ feet? Or do most of the calibration tweaks really need to be done in my viewing room? But I'll begin with submitting the list of these 1080p plasma models to a list of local repair shops, as they should be able to assess the potential longevity of a model they find for sale before then getting it to perform at least close to factory specs. And doing so would presumably extend the plasma's life span, plus some reduced power draw. Then perhaps later one of the smaller Sony OLEDs for my other room to watch BDs. But thanks to some invaluable feedback here at the plasma sub I've compiled a list of the best late model 50" 1080p plasma TVs. Though I do all of my viewing in a dim lit room and 10+ feet from my 32" CRT, it's questionable how acceptable my DVDs would look even on Sony's latest top model 55 or even 48" OLED. For obvious reasons I don't plan on buying any 4K BDs and if I ever subscribed to a movie streaming service it would have to be at 1080p resolution. Most of those DVDs have not nor are likely to be issued on BD, nor would I otherwise wish to repurchase them as such. Oppo BDP-95 player for DVDs overĮxcept for about 30-odd movies and one TV series on 1080p BD, the rest of my large vintage collection are mostly well produced and pressed DVDs.
