We watched our DVD version of Ghostbusters on it and the production looks so cheesy. It gives you that 3D sense and you can see the depth in the picture but it makes the special effects look so out of date. It made me feel like it had the production value of an episode of power rangers. For watching HD channels or blu-rays or playing console games its amazing. It's just almost hard to watch any older movies especially if they've got alot of special effects. We watched Dave on it the other day and for a movie like that it was fine but anything with special effects just dosn't seem to look right if you still own it on DVD format.
Have you tried setting your tv to 60hz when watching dvds?
