Hi.
Did any of you watch the Documentary on the ITV Network about the "Young wives of Aberfan"?
There was a lot of footage from the disaster of 1966. We watched it on STV HD (40" Samsung) and the film clips were stunningly sharp, even the 405 line footage didn't seem doctored in anyway, the 405 line structure could be clearly seen, more so on the bottom third of the screen but the quality of the picture was still good enough to watch on a WS 40" set. Now I'm fully aware that a 40" WS set would have a similar screen height to a 23 4:3 CRT so in the vertical plane watching a 405 line transmission on my 40 WS set isn't hugely different to say a 23 or 25 inch 405 line set. The horizontal resolution is virtually identical on 405 to 625.
