The Blu-ray Picture Quality Rating Thread - Blu-ray Forum

xtop · 10-07-2008, 02:22 AM

This is the unofficial/official blu-ray picture quality thread. We've borrowed what avs has done and decided it will work very well here. If you'd like to take a look at their list here it is. Highdefdigest has a list of their own that is also similar, seen here. We won't pretend we came up with this idea, but we will try to carry it on with our own opinions.

I would recommend adding Shoot Em Up to the list.

I'd like to see it broken up into tiers...that way each movie doesn't have to be ranked - which would truly be impossible to do. We can have the top tier for the best PQ movies, such as Cars, the Pirates movies, etc etc.

If this works out for PQ, perhaps we could do the same thing for AQ. It'd be really neat if this worked out for both of those. Think it might ward off a lot of senseless threads.

You might also want to link to the PQ Tier thread over at High Def Digest. I generally don't recommend that site but that list is like a cousin of the one at AVS. The rankings aren't identical either.

I vote more... That way it's kind of a one stop glance at some Blu-Rays on the list. Maybe even run times might be a good idea...

We've borrowed what avs has done and decided it will work very well here. If you'd like to take a look at their list here it is. Highdefdigest has a list of their own that is also similar, seen here. We won't pretend we came up with this idea, but we will try to carry it on with our own opinions. But basically we want this to be a quick guide on which movie looks best. Want to know which movie to rent to show off your brand new plasma? This is where you'd come. This list is strictly for Picture Quality. It could very well be full of stinker movies, they'll just look great doing it. Movie's are listed from Best looking to worst. Naturally we only want the best of the best looking here, so the "worst" is a bit of a lie. We welcome you to discuss, agree and disagree with everything you see here. Think something should be ranked higher or lower? Tell us what kind of equipment you're using and where and why you think the movie should be placed. This is a group effort and we won't take one person's word on how good a particular movie looks. If you've got a better way of displaying the movies, or a way of color coding the various specs, let me know. And obviously i left out a lot of great looking blu-ray movies, so let us know if the below list looks right and tell us which movies need added. This is basically a rough draft so it'll be ever changing! The font too small for everyone? Here's a break down of what you're looking at. Each movie is linked to blu-ray.com's review. From there you can purchase the video on Amazon.com.
