HITACHI 505 STINKS !!!!!! Official By DVD BUYER MAGAZINE ISSUE 4

I know some of you out there are not going to like this … but in this months DVD Buyer this is what it says…..

Ease of use 9/10
Looks 8/10
Features 7/10
Picture 4/10 yes 4/10
Sound 9/10
Value 7/10
Overall 5/10 That’s 5/10

Quote : THE POOR PICTURE WAS A SHOCK, AS PREVIOUS HITACHI MACHINES HAVE TESTED VERY WELL…..

Quote: Rarely have we seen an image so horribly affected by jaggies on diagonal lines, or objects with slight curves. The stepping effect is so pronounced it looks like something from an early Playstation game. It’s not an isolated problem either – we tested two 505s sent from Hitachi, and both were just as bad.

Not my words … But facts from a well known magazine.

You have admitted it is oldnews in the other forum! The reason you posted was to attack me, so did you honestly expect me not to respond?

And please dont insult YOUR own intelligence by saying no I never!

If you wish to trade Volleys with dukey fair enough!

Just dont go acting all innocent:)

PIONEER 737 GRAND ADMIRAL OF THE PIONEER EMPIRE HAS A LAYER CHANGE OF UP TO 2.5 SECONDS!

fact from an american forum!

I wish I had a TV input to my PC so I could show these so called jagged curved lines I have never seen, and non of the several other magazine reviews have seen.

Fact!

Have you owned a 505?

I think the scan & mico are poor, but then I have had one.

Have you owned a 505?


HITACHI 505 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am a 505 owner and i also can honestly say i have not seen any jaggies really this is an unbiased opinion when a players crap ill say so i do have my own gripes with picture quality but it does not include jaggies at this point i can not say for sure if the player or some other factor is to blame ie:tv scart lead although i am trying to determine for certain where my problem lies.i did at one point own a pioneer 525 and i am certainly not saying they are crap but i only kept it for 3 days i have had my 505 for sevral weeks and fully intend to keep it 505s suit some but not others the same can be said for any brand dvd player but overall the Hitachi 505 ROCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
