Yes! No haloing in Blu-ray vs. DVDs more than just resolution increase

[Kuraudo]

I tend to like to analyze video now , and to my awesome discovery
the blu rays have literally no haloing that I could find.

In Dvds have all kinds of errors in them, depending how good or bad the author is. Haloing is the most common problem I see
along with lack of sharpened details, mosquito noise, artifacts...
A lot of people agreed that black levels seem to have more punch and detail, but I haven't compared that part too well, what do you guys think?

The blu ray encodes so far I have found nothing of the above mentioned errors. I have to look a little closer to find flaws.
Its simply more than just a simple increase in resolution.

What ? about 60% of the BR out there are Edge Enhanced to death. The last casualty is "Jesse James".
It's still a disease, I wish Cobra would come back and burn all these techs in the furnace. We need a cure.

No instead we still have EE, though not so heavely used as in dvd where it blurred out detail, but we still have to thank warner for filtering out fine detail on some of there encodes to reduce film grain or for whatever reason they do it (bitrate saving for HDDVD nodoubt.)

Still some work needed to be done to get great encodes but also consumer education is required, as some masters are soft and due to consumer expectations EE is used to try and sharpen a soft master. not evey movie is gonna be animation sharp and the guy above should know this already.

Is interesting, since I own 70% of US Blu-rays and I've almost never notice edge enhancement when watching on a direct view 1080 x 1920 1:1 panel with sharpness set to flat.

Indeed, it has to be a display artifact. the only halos I see are at the top and bottom of scope transfers, a few pixel wide line that's indicative of the hard edges and happens in compression a lot

You'd think they would have allowed for different-sized images instead of hardcoded it to 1920x1080.

Barring that, you'd think they'd at least allow a few bits to specify the image size so they could include a few extra lines at the top and the bottom and then mask them off.

Actually Edge Enhancment is just as bad
I guess according to this article it is the same? or does the EE actually create the halos?

Aiya, i guess It will be a WHILE till we have perfect video.

I'm not as experienced as you guys here with your 100+ blu rays
so I'm ready to back down anytime with your thoughts.
