Favorite upconverted SD movies? - Blu-ray Forum

Rubbertoes · 02-08-2008, 02:50 PM

I know this will all depend on what you are using to upconvert and what t.v. you have, but what SD movies have you watched and been amazed at the upconvert outcome?

I've got to be honest, I've never been impressed with an unconversion. Once you go Blu, DVD is through. Sweet rhyme.

Bad Boys 2 is pretty damn good.

Tony Jaa in The Protector is a damn good looking DVD.. not even high budget either.

Gladiator

Ah man, that guy kicks ass! I didn't watch The Protector upconverted but I did watch his first film, Ong-Bak Thai Warrior. Very decent. Watched Shaolin Soccer upconverted last night (PS3), not bad. As a Blu-ray noob (I just started and only have seen/own around 6 or 7 BDs) I am not yet to the point where I can't stand standard DVDs (which I have a huge collection of)...

The original Star Wars, Inside Man.

Minority Report and LOTR? Really? Those to me looked horrible upconverted to 1080p.

...and I say this ONLY because they're not out on blu ray yet

LOTR Trilogy
Star Wars: Episode 3
The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen

not impressed with upconversion. blu-ray looks a lot better. I don't know what kind of idiot that works in toshiba, saying it will convert to HD-quality

For me it has to be Starwars III, on the opening battle scene (dogfight). Very good PQ for a standard DVD.
