thedoors27 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have a multi region dvd player, only a cheap one, it was about ?27. My question is I own a region 1 copy of shrek 2 and when I play this dvd I notice the colour isn't as sharp, and also the actual image isn't as good as a region 2 dvd, is there any actual reason behind this? Is it my cheap dvd player or just the way the different regions are displayed? any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrinders87 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 The region has nothing to do with this. If it was the region, then it wont even play. Its probably the DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 because its not PAL maybe? and region 2 discs will be NTSC and PAL have different horizontal (or vertical, i forget) number of lines, so they do actually look different sorry, thats the best explanation i can give without actually looking anything up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTSC has higher. But I doubt that will cause a noticble difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoors27 Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 My tv has some ntsc options do you reckon I should fiddle around with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoors27 Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'll have to play around with dvd settings and tv settings to see if I can match pal. Anyone know of a really good multi region dvd player under ?80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
