Checking Blu-ray pic quality before buying - Blu-ray Forum

Jim McC · 02-05-2010, 09:59 PM

Where can I check on the image quality of a Blu-ray movie before I buy it? Is there such a website? A few I'm interested in are Silence of the Lambs, Dark City, Fargo, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Thanks.

You can search for them here (in the upper right part corner search bar) and see if there has been any reviews. The site reviews them. It can give you an idea of how the quality is going to be.

Thanks Vorlx. If I can't find a review here, is there anywhere else I can try?

Generally if there isn't a site review there are user reviews which work pretty well to. I personally don't use any other sites for reviews.

I always check the reviews here as well. Also keep in mind that if there is often a thread dedicated to the movie in question and it will usually have quite a few opinions as well.

You can check here too: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/list/66
Of course you can always rent it and see for yourself. Especially cheap if you are a Netflix member.
