Why o why is this more important than my exam in two days??
-
This video works well as a Full-screen vs. Widescreen comparison as well!
-
Oh wow, Laserdisc’s resolution is clearly superior.
-
Before the Despecialized Edition or 4K77, THIS was the way to watch Star Wars unaltered in anything remotely close to High Definition.
-
Laserdisc tho a smaller screen had more definition than the VHS ever did ! I wish I could have owned one at the time it came out but I wasn't born yet haha
-
everyone talking about the resolution is missing the big picture, and by that i mean the laserdisc is in its proper aspect ratio. no pan and scan
-
It appears that the VHS version used for this demonstration is from the Post-1995 remastered releases. Prior VHS releases framed the right side of the widescreen frame so that the moon on frame left was cropped out.

I have the Special Edition Trilogy on VHS and Laserdisc. While the LD version is better, the VHS really isn't a slouch. It looks great for the format and sounds great too. I watch both on my 4K tv and despite being analog, they look fine. A VHS in good quality and recorded in SP mode looks decent. It also helps to keep your vcr heads clean. So I open mine once in a while and clean them with a cloth and alcohol.

When ur pro laser disc Bc of regular show 😂
-
I actually love the VHS version it’s what I grew up on
-
Even with reduced vertical resolution due to letterboxing, Laserdisc is clearly sharper. It's a shame that more anamorphic 16:9 LD's weren't produced, but LD's sunset coincided with HDTV's (and so widescreen's) dawn so it is what it is.

VHS=DVD LASERDISC=BLURAY
-
The sound of laserdisc is incomparable, even on dvd or bluray!
-
That laserdisc is so crisp!!! You need to do a Blade runner comparison...
-
How good to see unmastered SW.
-
Laserdisc made vhs look like a bootleg
-
You shouldn't use the S-Video connector on the LaserDisc. The signal on the disc is composite. The player will just run it through a comb filter when outputting on S-Video.
-
i didn't grow up on any of these formats. but laserdisc looks better imo
-
How about CED version Edit: Lot of Crackle, Glitch, and Jitter
-
But you know that laserdisc was also composite?
