Impressions of your upscaled DVDs on PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

Lsalas76 · 05-28-2007, 02:27 PM

For those of you with ps3, what dvds were you impressed with now that the ps3 upscales? And which ones weren't you impressed with?

I've checked out many dvds and some I was impressed with, others not so much.

Star Wars epsidoe III looks great as do the original trilogy( special edition).

LOTR Extended Editions looks amazing as did Nemo and the Incredibles.

Gladiator extended edition looked good too

IMO Braveheart didn't look all that great and neither did the Predator

Thundercats looked ok, as did Voltron.

oh and my ps2 games looked pretty bad. I tried Madden 07 and Smackdown vs Raw 2007 and both looked very "cloudy."

Upscaling's tricky. Most SD discs look better but there are some that already have a fairly flat soft pic and upscaling does those pups no favours. With those discs, you're actually better running in 480p and kiscking ip your sharpness control to get a little detail in my opinion.

I rented Smokin' Aces and Deja-Vu this week, and both were just stunning.

This was a huge update for the PS3 in terms of playing DVDs. I sampled some last night, and was pretty impressed.

The wife wanted to watch Titanic last night so I popped it in the PS3. The PQ was much better using my PS3 that my old Sony DVD upscaler.

I was really impressed watching Children of Men upscaled to 1080i. Since Universal doesn't have the since to release their films on BD this is the next best thing.
