Has anyone here tried out their LDs on a crt projector? I can get a Marquee 9500 ultra for a fairly decent deal but haven’t got any personal experience with them.

People certainly have as CRT projectors were the only projectors available when laser discs existed.

Just make sure to use a video processor/scaler of some sort because those 480 lines will be really obvious as big fat scan lines on a higher end CRT projector like a 9500 (assuming it's set up correctly).

Cheers!

I ran LD into my CRT's. I used a line quadrupler.

480i is 15.75Khz signal, 480 interlaced lines of resolution.
Quadrupler takes that to 63KHz or 'creating' 4x the resolution. 960 lines but progressive, so twice the lines ( 480x2 ) deinterlaced to 960P looks pretty good. A little soft but not terrible.

It's worth doing. Just for fun try S-video into the projector and enjoy the giant scan lines.

I'm leaving this thread but have nuked original poster "drewdavis" because they're a spambot. See this identical post 1 year ago elsewhere:

It was only a matter of time before they started spamming here ...
