An incredibly uneven transfer. Goes from brilliant to soft and flat.

First time watching back to back reference (imo) titles
I own the dvd versions of both & thought these probably would not look that much better in HD. So much for assumption.

Besides the price, what was wrong with it? Any pics of the Toshiba 62" 1080p DLP?


Congrats, again I guess.

Green Blob over Black scenes. The other may not be a technical one, but this set actually hurt my eyes after only an hour of viewing it. btw, this is the 4th tv I returned to BB.

Don't have a digi-cam, so click on the link to see this bad ass Toshiba. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-YJVg72X...display=XL#Tab

Nice disc all around, if a tad soft in places. I like the time bar that comes up when you pause, I'd like to see that feature on every disc.

Its a nice feature & I'd like to see more of it too.. unfortuantely, if you leave the disc on pause for about a minute, the disc skips to the Uni screen saver. I think Uni heard my crys. No music during the new screen savers. The MPEG-4 uni title "Interpreter" doesn't have a screen saver which makes me think that the disc was ready to go with its first release date & Uni didn't change a thing while the title was delayed.

Quite disappointed with the PQ here. It is a step up from the dvd, but not by much. Artifacts gone, thats about it. Soft PQ & in some spots reminded me of The Perfect Storm. The audio on this disc was much more impressive.

Too much stair stepping in various places, but on the whole a very sharp image. The soundtrack simply rosked though! Good movie as well.
