It had to be done.
 Since we’re more focused on PQ and Audio at this time, let’s consider doing this in a slightly different way. Example: HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Title Video: 10/10 Audio: 10/10 I think this will be a good way to compare and contrast opinions on the titles without having to go to 3 or 4 different threads. If you don’t want to follow that format, just post in your own way.

Red Dragon
Video: 8/10 Audio: 7/10 Fairly unremarkable A/V wise, but still a good upgrade over the DVD, even the R3 with DTS that I had.

Land of the Dead (2005)
HD Video - 8/10 HD Audio Dolby Digital Plus - 8/10 Grand Prix (1966) HD Video - Reference HD Audio Dolby Digital Plus - 8/10 GP really shocked me. This was a blind buy & I thought the film would probably look old & dated. My expectations were low I guess, but the video on this disc is Demo material. Most shots blew away the DVD Forum's Demo disc played at retail stores. Yep that good. Film was kinda long imo, but I was happy the PQ held up its end for the entire 2:55 runtime. Audio wasn't bad, also not that great either. Most of the film is front heavy & I thought more use of the surrounds could have been used for the races. Only other nitpick is some dialog scenes sounded a bit tiney or dated but it isn't really distracting sinse most of the films soundtrack is roaring engines. All in All.......  Never know what film will look great in High-def so this title was a nice surprise. |

Video - 7/10 Audio - 8/10 (Dolby Digital Plus 5.1) Batman Begins Video - 10/10 Audio - 10/10 (Dolby TrueHD) I went to Component for video (instead of HDMI) and Analog for audio (instead of HDMI) this week and won't be going back to HDMI since this setup blows HDMI away |

Thanks in part to Paris Hilton's infamous death scene. The final 15 minutes will make your subwoofer rumble
