Which DVD look the best in HDTV?

[mugupo]

I go for the Incredibles, the pq is top notch, audio is thx certified.

I was kinda about this the other day after I finished watching my Cold Mountain DVD, which looks like shit btw. I haven't watched too many DVD's on my HDTV since I got it, but I was shocked that Grandma's Boy actually looked really good for a DVD

Animated movies will always look really good upscaled to HD because if you think about it, there's probably less than a thousand colors on the screen at one given time. With real life movies, every pixel is a different color(about 350,000 for DVD's) so it's more difficult to look good.

I'd say i was most blown away by POTC 2 and 3. The curse of the black pearl looks like crap for some reason tho.

I wondered about this, I re-watched many of my regular dvd's when I bought my Sammy 630, and noticed that a lot of them looked REALLY good.

I was at a video store that was playing the DVD for Transformers on an HDTV. It looked like crap in my opinion.

I think most, not all, DVD's look like crap on HDTV's. I don't even bother with DVD's...

are you talking upconverted or non-upconverted?

i robot is the best looking dvd i ever watched non-upconverted
Revenge of the Sith is the best upconverted dvd i've watched

[Rob J in WNY]

Children of Men

Blade Runner (The Final Cut)

Sunshine

Star Wars Episodes I, II, III

Superman Returns

Stardust

Gladiator

2001: A Space Odyssey

Kill Bill, Vols. 1 & 2

The Lion King

All the Shreks

Any Pixar movie

DVD doesn't deliver like BD does, but these are some notable titles I own on DVD and watched both upconverted and not. I have since upgraded on some of these to BD as well.

Good call on I, Robot. I saw that shortly after I got my HDTV, but before I got a Blu-ray player, so it was coming out of my DVD player via component. It looked pretty good. This was also before my eye was "calibrated" though!

We now watch or listen to all our optical discs (DVD, Blu, CD, etc) through our BDP-S550. The best upscaled DVD I have watched is probably Wall•E, although I have seen that on Blu (on a different TV) and it is awesome in Blu.

I do like how some of my anime looks upconverted like Air TV plus movie, Clannad, Kanon, Lucky Star, Princess Resurrection, Ah My Goddess season 2, Hellsing Ultimate, Steel Angel Kurumi, Indian Summer, Moeyo Ken, Utawareumono, and Pani Poni Dash

Anything by Pixar

LOTR looks really good with my player LG BH200

[Johnny Vinyl]

I thought that Braveheart, Gladiator and the LOTR films didn't look too bad on upconverted DVD.

It does look great. I think our eyes will bleed when we gaze upon the 1080p version.

It's good to see Gladiator on that list, I'm way overdue to watch it again but have been worried about the PQ on a 46".

[tilapiah6]

Apocalypse Now Redux looks really good on DVD.

[Batman1980]

Shrek 1 looks really good in SD but I guess that's because it's CGI.

Most definitely! Forgot to mention that one. Very enjoyable to watch off my DVD of it (Redux version as well).

Can't wait for that to come out on BD! I hope it's transferred with great care.

Yeah as good as it looks on DVD, it should look fantastic on Blu-ray.
