360 DVD playback horrible?
Has anyone seen this article on how the 360's DVD playback is horrible? I've used my 360 on a number of occasions but haven't noticed anything like this.


Here are some screenshots from ExtremeTech's observations:










Does anyone else notice it on their TV?

I notice it on my 51" TV. But, I'm not about to go out an buy an expensive DVD player, either.

I've never seen anything like that. The dvd's look just like on a dvd player to me and if they looked that blurry I would never watch anything on the 360.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

I didn't know DVD players were expensive. I bought a progressive scan slim DVD player from Walmart for $25 before. lol

Anyway, I'm surprised it's as bad as they say it is. I usually notice things like this. Maybe I'll hook up my cheap DVD player to my HDTV and compare.

LOL, I've never seen anything like that, I've used my 360 as my DVD player for months.
