Re: Picture quality on Oz and James



In article <13lcutrfs20mnae@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, nospam@xxxxxxxxxx says...
I've been watching Oz Clarke and James May's wine programme, and
throughout the series I've been distracted by an issue with the picture
quality. The colour is missing from edges so that, to take one example,
a brown telegraph pole against a blue sky had a bloody great white line
all around the edge of it like the Ready Brek adverts. This is the sort
of thing you expect on poor quality analogue telly, or when some chump
has turned the sharpness control up too far, I've never seen it before
on digital TV. When lots of edges are close together, as in the rows of
vines in a vineyard as seen from the air, the whole area is in black and
white. It really is most distracting, has anyone else noticed it?


One odd thing I noticed was at one of the wineries - either the pictures on
the wall were very abstract, or they'd been post-processed to deliberately
blur the images.
