Does anyone else think 24 is really grainy? - Blu-ray Forum

mmunro2003 · 05-05-2009, 02:13 AM

I have been watching season 7 of 24 on Fox HD, and started to notice its getting really grainy and noise. Now, I am familiar with film grain and its intention as a whole, but, 24 just seems over the top and way too much to be considered cinematic. Is it just me and my crappy cable service? Or is what others are seeing also?
Thanks in advance

It is NOT your tv! I have been wondering what the F is going on myself!

24 has gotten noticeably worse the last few weeks in pq. There are tons of white noise dots in the dark shots. It almost seems these last 6 episodes they shot after the writers strike they used a crappy camera or something compared to the rest of the season. It will be interesting to see how it looks on blu-ray. I at first thought our local FOX cable channel had turned into crappy quality but I'm seeing others on other forums as well complaining.

Thank you! I understand grain, but man, the white dots are crazy and fluctuate like crazy.
