Dunno how close you mean, but my 50" from about 8 feet away, the artifacts in the mpeg2 dvd was quite noticeable. Especially on the darker scenes.

DVD might look great, but put two of the same tv next to each other and play the same movie on DVD and an HD format. The difference is big.

Yea I'm talking closer than 10 feet. The difference isn't that big on mine, I've watched HD and normal DVDs. Now for TV broadcasts, HD is where it's at.

I have a 50" rear lcd projection(1080p). With the up converter they look decent but there is a lot of rainbowing with colors in dark scene and some pixelations. My mac up converts as well when i watch h.264 and avi and it still not that great. I have a couple of HD movies in .mkv formarts which are either 720p or 1080i and it looks great! Cant wait to get my self a ps3 to use the bluray player. It is said that for the holidays a 40gb model with spiderman 3 is going to be released for $400.

The shitty part about seeing ---- in HD is once I got my HD TV watching low-def quality ---- sucks ass.

Like watching color tv vs. black and white for me. :X

I use ripit4me also which makes it pretty easy. For me its a whole day process though, I usually start it running when I go to bed. Then set it to shrink when I get up, then set it burning when I come home for work. :(

Mabye if I get a DVD player to go along with my DVD burner it will be faster (2 drive setup)?

i have a SXRD 50a2000 i believe. Its like a DLP, ut the picture is made by an LCD and light expands the picture. While a DLP makes the imade through a color wheel and the mirrors.

3 LCD or a single one? Only thing that I'd rather have than my homemade ghetto rigged projector is one with 3 LCDs. DLP I can see the rainbow effect and it's annoying as ----.
