gnash · 08-25-2008, 03:18 AM

It is nice to see....however, I could do without four hours of commercials.

Not watching LOTR until they are released in Blu-ray.

Picture was soft and cropped -- the films were shot in scope and TNT was showing them in Academy flat. Didn't bother.

Cropped HD kicks kittens.

Well at least there was no grain.

owa · 08-25-2008, 01:10 PM

I thought I did see grain but maybe it was noise?

Anyway, saw The Two Towers and recorded The Return of the King. Had hoped to record all 3 to compare them to DVD but I never seem to find out in time to catch all 3.

I am not sure if you meant this to be funny, but I actually LOLed.

If you did, kudos to you. That was excellent.

It was meant to be funny. Movies on HD cable - are not blu-ray. To me, blu-ray is the official start of HD picture.

I'm with you Blu-Titan!

Besides, I can't stand all of the commercials.

Entertainment72 · 08-25-2008, 03:46 PM

It was commercial limited... no where near the average.

Pelican170 · 08-25-2008, 03:47 PM

I saw it, and it did look good for HD on TV.

That was only for RotK, the first two had normal commercial breaks. I long for the day when I can pop all 3 movies in consecutively and watch them on Blu. Hopefully whenever they get around to releasing them, they will have the entire extended edition on 1 disc. I prefer the extended versions but hate being taken out of the movie to switch discs.

Pelican170 · 08-25-2008, 03:53 PM

Also, ive noticed that TNT HD tends to mess with their surround sound compared to when watching the same movie on DVD. Seems like they tend to bump up the sound in the surrounds. Not really sure how they do that, but just something ive noticed.

haushausman · 08-25-2008, 03:55 PM

I thought the PQ blew... but for compressed Comcast cable crap not as bad as it could of been.

The BD version will make the TNT version look like DVD.

Can't wait for the boxset... and if it's not the extended versions I will be waiting even longer.
