When I look at the demo, I see compression, blown highlights, blocked shadows, and too much contrast.
They do that to make it "pop" more. The compression is minor but I see it.
These demos always use non-calbrated TVs, and pump up the contrast the saturation to make the image look more vibrant and "3D" to the customer.

I wholeheartedly agree with CptGreedle. Although I always stop by Sony's demo stand everytime I go to Best Buy, I only do so to marvel at the motion feature (and even then, motion enhancement still feels gimmicky). Look closely and one can tell the PQ has been compromised. Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest is a title I own that is on the demo disc, and the full feature BD blows the entire demo disc out the water.

You're right. It was a on a 40" Sony Bravia LCD with 120hz refresh rate.
