I don't have a DVD-ROM, or I'd try it myself, but I'm having a hard time
with that last claim of yours, so I'd like you to clear up a couple of things.

Your PC and monitor is in the study, and the TV is down the hall in the lounge,
so how could you conduct a "side by side" comparison with that setup?

Regardless, are you saying  that you compared the DVD picture on a regular TV
to a DVD-ROM displayed on a PC monitor, and concluded
that a PC software decoder is superior to a standalone decoder?

That would be flawed logic, to say the least.
