To achieve the best picture quality from your HDTV, you should definitely watch a movie (concert, etc.) with a resolution of
1080p . Now the only way to achieve the highest possible (for home devices) image resolution. Usually, films (concert, etc.) of such quality are available only on Blu-Ray discs (rare exceptions and pirated copies are not taken into account)
Of course, one day a higher resolution will come to the houses, but then everyone will have to at least change TVs. For example, the Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California is already conducting experiments with a video image resolution that is 4 times as high as 1080p.
But you need to focus on how to improve the existing standard for Blu-Ray.
Paul Darby, co-founder of the company that developed the
universal remote control , has a project to improve the quality of blu-ray-pictures of even the highest quality:
DarbeeVision . This technology allows you to convince the viewer's brain that the image is deeper and more voluminous than it actually is. For this, DarbeeVision creates two additional images for each frame, which are superimposed in a certain way on the main image; the result is a kind of shadow / drop shadow /, which creates the impression of enhanced contrast and volume (see the picture at the beginning of the post).
But this is not the same as unscrewing the "Contrast" slider in the TV menu to the maximum. In this case, the contrast is added evenly to the entire image on the screen; Paul Darby's technology does not touch the background image, making more contrast objects that are “closer” to the viewer.

Examples of the magic of this technology can be viewed in the
gallery of the site DarbeeVision.
So far, Mr. Darby has been selling the novelty for $ 1500. The implementation is a small box that is inserted “between” the Blu-Ray player and the TV. But soon there will be more budget solutions available for the mass user. After a while, the DarbeeVision chip (built into the HDMI cable) will cost $ 150.
