I've got a Video Essentials disc, I just can't make the HDTV pop like a CRT. I might need to play with the settings more, but I tend to lower color saturation to get better clarity.
I maintain that the 2D Disney movies look far better on LD. The colors are a lot warmer / softer, they've got that glow to 'em.
See if you have any discs with color bars on 'em, might help to adjust your set a bit.

Dammit, already failed. They had Van Damme movies I was looking for cheap...
Laserdisc: The Next Generation
My daughter really digs these "really big movies" after watching Toy Story. I had a stack of discs I got from a dude on FB, and I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie. There was TMNT in the stack, which is what I figured she'd go for. Nope, she saw Superman, and had to watch it. I asked her if she was sure, she usually doesn't like live action stuff, she's still in the "everything must be animated" phase.
That was over a week ago. She still can't stop talking about Superman. It was my favorite movie when I was 4 too :biggrin: Last weekend we also watched The Lion King, which was great. I need more kids movies.
Speaking of kids movies, going to go pick up a nice score from Craigslist tomorrow, I hope. There was an ad on Craigslist for a CLD-D504, which is a newer midrange player, and 30 movies for $75. I can't tell what all the movies are, but he said it's got Godfather, Indiana Jones, a bunch of Disney movies and most of the Bond movies. I mostly want the player, but I'll surely take the movies too.
That's really cool, man! One of my motivations is to one day watch a lot of this stuff with a hypothetical kid and pass along favorite movies, I like to hear that's working out.
Picked up some good stuff today:
evil killer robot us'es
You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper.
They made a Tomatoes sequel? The fuck?
Yeah, man! It's pretty great, honestly.
It has a pretty extensive callback to the Repo Man generic products.

Classic.
That the one with George Clooney?
I'm not a devious man by nature... but when you're unarmed, your tactics might gonna be downright Archimedean.
