ok first of all, I have to say im not a pro hddvd here and not bashing any format (but so far I prefer hddvd). I will just share to you guys my experience with bd, I really need some suggestions or help. Ok first of all I havent updated to 1.9, I bought the 2k sports football and it just automatically update my system to 1.82 ata. However I dont think the firmware upgrade is the problem here regarding the PQ im experiencing. By the way i have the samsung 32 inch R71
Ok let me start to say I have watched several blu-ray and to me it is very disappointing compared to hddvd. I really dont know what is going on here, but to me its really not impressive. Even my cousin who came to check out my ps3 said parang the ps3 made the picture look softer. I always use face, hair and scenery to see the sharpness and differences..Anyway I am just saying talaga the hddvd for me looks better and I only have an addon. Picture on my addon is really sharper. Recently I have watched Dantes peak, blazing saddles, the 2nd matrix on my addon and its no contest. Could this be my ps3 setting? or just bec of the title differences between the two formats..Im getting frustrated so far.
Anyway so far I watched several bd titles and to me The Patriot looks the best, awesome, like hddvds pq..Pirates 1 is also pretty good but I think Patriot looks the best.
2. Enemy of the state - ok lang.. not amazing (when I say amazing im talking about like a 360 degree diff from dvd. you just go wow..)
3. Invincible - ok lang din... not amazing
4. Infernal affairs - grabe forget it walang ka detail detail
5. B13 - ok ...not amazing
6. hellboy is good, pretty sharp
7. Pirates 2 - Im really confused about this, im really disappointed, Im looking for the 5 star and I dont see it. Maybe bec most of the scenes are dark but on the daytime scenes, the faces..jungle scenes or whatever are just not there in sharpness compared to some of my hddvd titles that are top tier in hidefdigest.. .
Compared to the hddvd titles like Fast and the furious 1 and 2, Mummy, king kong (comparing the jungle to pirates 2 to me king kong looks way better), Dantes peak, Matrix and I can keep going.. these hddvd titles are way better in terms of pq. Maybe its just the bd titles I got, I really cant figure this out bec just by invincible, and pirates 2 these 2 titles should already be awesome..However I dont see the wow in these..maybe its he way the directors want it to look I dont know..
Anyway if anybody can help me (or experiencing the same thing) Pls let me know, I would truly appreciate it. Again Im not destroying or saying bad about bd. I just ordered more titles in bd today, so in no way im giving up on bd ( Hey guys check out amazon, they have a price slash today, imagine kung fu hustle, big fish, memento and some others only 14.95, italian job, black hawk down, tears of the sun at 17.95, and a lot lot more.)
Ok any help will be appreciated..Thanks
