The Empire Strikes Back Laserdisc through 42" Plasma

My Laserdisc copy of The Empire Strikes Back playing on my Pioneer CLD-D515 via SCART to my 42" 600Hz Panasonic Viera plasma.

The upscaled picture quality is shockingly good, it was infact awful until I disabled the comb filter though.

NOTE: the flickering on the video can not be seen by the eye and is likely a refresh issue between the plasma and my phone's camera.

Apologies for the quiet sound also, I turned the surround system off for the recording and the phone diddnt pick up the rear facing TV speakers too well.

Is this a 720p? Please let me know. I need to conclude that laserdiscs with a 720p tv or projector ,including a video scaler will only save them from extinction in this HD world.Thanks.

@isdiazfr this TV is 1080p 600Hz

What comb filter did you disable? TV or player?

[mickaka]

@jaffabox only on the TV, basically disabled everything that operates on the RCA in so it's clean from input to screen.

Is that the special edition version or the original version?

[mickaka]

Sadly it's the special edition, my original trilogy succumbed to laser rot around 5 years ago :(

@isdiazfr , Fix the aspect ratio on the tv, everyone is too fat.
