I don’t think you realize how unwatchably blurry VHS is. I can’t believe we ever watched those things now.

DVD is still a bit of a nuisance because of aspect ratios and they’re a little blurry because SD, but VHS is just garbage.

VHS can look as good as DVD (or better in cases where the DVD was poorly mastered), but there aren’t many good VCRs out there anymore. A well maintained VHS tape and VCR can give you a great capture. www.digitalfaq.com/…/1567-vcr-buying-guide.html

I still have my CRT and old game consoles and use them sometimes. The blurriness with the games doesn’t bother me, but maybe a movie would be worse. I am constantly forgetting my glasses though so I’m kind of used to blurry. I still might grab a VCR if I see one, though, just to show my children what it was like when I was a kid. Could be fun.

    The ability to hear this comment is dependent on the reader’s age in a rather interesting way.

    Nothing better than a 15625hz sawtooth tone.
