Picture grainy during dark scenes - Blu-ray Forum

Yes. Have noticed grain in dark scenes in Planet Earth. Remember the darker the scene the more grain (no matter how expensive the camera). DVD does not have the ability to show grain to any degree, whereas Blu-ray will expose any imperfection for all to see.

That's what I was thinking, but it's nice to get comfirmation. Thanks

My 1080p TV I had replaced due to clouding issues used to really show the grain in detail. My 1080i plasma I now have doesn't show so much grain.

I think LCDs can be so sharp, they make the grain rather harsh at times.

Also try to turn off any noise reduction on your TV. As Blue said, grain is more apparent in darker scenes, and if your TV messes with it, it can actually make things worse.
