hi
I have tv show dvd when i see that on p.c it has too much combing ,but same dvd when seen on LCD,it doesnt show any combing. What lcd doing to it. Is there any need in future to deinterlace video,cause Lcd doing good job.

Is it only one particular DVD? Are you using the PC for playback with the TV as well? It might be an idea to post a sample if you can.

I have copied that dvd to ext.hdd and attaching to lcd. Many combed dvd look fine on LCD

Are the Windows display settings set to the highest color quality setting? It'll probably be labelled "Highest, 32 bit" or something similar. With XP it's found in Display Properties under the Settings tab. I'm not sure where it's located in Windows 7.

Hmm?!?

@vrpatilisl
It sounds like your TV can deinterlace on its own. A lot of newer TVs will deinterlace, with more or less success. It also sounds like you have a good one. :)

Yeah I was having a dumb moment. Maybe I'd just come from a different thread but for some reason in my head combing = banding when I posted. My brain has since regrouped. :)

I tested same stuff, on sony,Samsung,LG, Onida all done good job. Probably they have inbuilt deinterlacing mechanism.

Not probably, but mandatory. :p

Yves Faroudja, the founder of the namesake company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroudja)producing deinterlacing chips, was quoted
as saying "Deinterlacing doesn't work!" (at a conference, shortly after he sold his company around 2000...:)).

I believe this is referring to the myriad types of interlaced material there is and no single algorithm can possibly take care of them.

Today's TVs have enough horsepower to analyze each interlaced field separately and built a progressive frame without using universal algorithms...
