Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Have You "Made the Switch" to BluRay?
« on: August 4, 2009, 12:37 PM »some in store demo's I've seem make excellent looking movies look horrible. But that was probably the TV it was playing on, not the BluRay.
I've noticed that too....some scenes on demo discs of Pirates of the Carribean, everything is flat and too crisp. Doesn't look cinematic...looks like an A&E made for cable movie.
It's got to be that they punch up sharpness on the TV and the demo disc both.
No, it's probably the 120 MHz refresh rate. It's something that the manufacturers have been pushing. Probably in an effort to make broadcast signals look "more Hi-Def". And it probably looks great for sports. But it also winds up making movies which are shot at 24 fps look strange, as if they were shot on video. And the cinematic quality of the image suffers.
