I’m quite younger so I wasn’t around that format war but depends on who you ask you get different responses.

    Most could go to 576p, but it was rare for that to be broadcasted in the United States. It was mostly a Europe thing. And even when it was a thing, it only went on for a year or two.

      Oh yeah true, it would’ve been 576i in NZ, so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice as much image quality difference between VHS and DVD(aside from the noise when VHS tapes get old)

        well, I’ve also noticed that HD downscaled to SD looks a lot better than native SD.
