The only time I find Bad PQ acceptable... - Blu-ray Forum

I mainly love blu-ray for the PQ, but I also love the poor PQ of an old movie's trailer. It kinda brings you back in time. Of course the full movie PQ better be 5 star!

Is this a thread or a personal blog?

Is that Tony Soprano saying that, or you?

The only time I find Bad PQ acceptable...

is when the bad quality is still better than the DVD transfer.

Due to the higher resolution, almost every BD is better than the DVD. With the format having so much potential, "better than DVD" is just an underachievement.

. . . is iif it's an accurate representation of how the movie was filmed. 28 Days Later looks awful (until the last scene anyway) but that's how it was filmed. Open Water is pretty rough too, but again, it's the movie, not the transfer.

In those cases poor PQ is to be expected.

Tony Soprano is a fictional character.

I never find it acceptable, it better be good or I don't buy it.

Can't say I've ever found poor PQ acceptable myself, nostalgia or otherwise.

SomeFilmBuff · 07-13-2012, 03:26 AM

Interestingly enough, there are people who don't like particular films in the highest quality possible because they feel it changes the mood and reveals a lot more detail than it should. I'm specifically talking about some who are very reactionary to horror movies with bright, pristine prints on Blu Ray.

oly · 07-13-2012, 03:47 AM

Sorry about my post, I just never could see why someone would prefer poor quality lol

Gold Ranger · 07-13-2012, 03:51 AM

I'm starting to HATE HD/1080p...
It's ruining a LOT of TV shows and Movies...
I can TOTALLY tell it's NOT the actual actor, but thier Stand-in!!!!

I've experienced this myself. For the most part, I love blu, but on rare occasion I've come across a film that looks video-like because of the transfer.

Of course, I'd love every single movie ever made to have perfect PQ. If it doesn't...oh well, I can tolerate it most of the time. Just as long as it's not like "Ong Bak," which still stands as the worst PQ I ever saw.

budious · 07-13-2012, 08:33 AM

I do kind of appreciate the appearance of some older films DVD transfer over BDs for the grindhouse nostalgia, but this could be implemented by software on players to apply a fake grindhouse filter to otherwise perfect PQ.
