[TriLUG] Netflix and Roku - quality

[Reginald Reed]

Video quality is very subjective, but with that said, I haven't run into the
same issues using the PlayOn media server playing to my PS3.  The quality
isn't the best, but it is (to my eye) fairly close to a decent DVD.  The PS3
has a pretty darn good, again in my opinion, scaler, so that may be a factor
as well.  Additionally, not all non-HD Netflix content is equal, some is
noticeable worse than others, especially some of the older TV Shows I've
viewed.
