Yes, "look and sound of perfect" is grammatically incorrect. You could (slightly awkwardly) say "look and sound of the perfect" as meaning: look and sound of what's perfect. "Look and sound of perfection" is the most natural.

The HD-DVD slogan is adspeak of a kind cultivated peculiarly by copywriters in the US. Don't ask me why.
