Quantum of Solace quality issues

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I still can't figure how at 8 to 10 feet you could pick out 1 dead pixel ! maybe A few feet !

Maybe those are the two bullet shots from the movie

its pretty easy i could see 2 missing pixels on my 32" lcd during last years ncaa tounament (because certain cameras were missing pixels not my tv)from like 15 or 20 feet away. when the pixels went by a solid color (other than like white) then you can see it easy.. and i used to have a 42" plasma for a couple weeks but it had a stuck/dead bright red pixel and with a dark scene im sure i couldve seen it 40 yards away if i had the room lol

Sony Pictures has had this problem once before. But it's not a big deal IF you know what causes it. Basically, the Java programming didn't totally remove the overlay graphic for the pop-up menu. So if you need to find a particular chapter, use the chapter skip button or go to the main menu.

You might want to tell Sony Pictures about it though. That way subsequent pressing will not have this problem.

AHHHHH

I started a thread about this called Two specks on Quantum of Solace. The chapter thing is news to me, I hope that solves it. Two specks in the exact same place. I had my copy and a netflix copy (long story) and they were there- in the same space. I thought dead pixels But I've watched other movies and hd cable- no dead pixels.

This is a glitch in the blu-ray, and I wouldn't be surprised if the S#@T hits the fan. Its not a quality thing, but a glitch.

I did not make the connection to searching through chapters. I will re-watch and let it play through. By the way, I think the picture quality and audio are amazing. (Besides the two phantom specks)

I think it may actually be two groups of pixels, they are pretty easy to see and they reverse color to what is around them. (not dead) Usually just white.

I do like the movie

Well I assume most start it from the beginning to watch so we wouldn't have noticed it first off.

That's interesting. I'm curious enough to try it with my Panny BD30 and Sammy LCD just randomly picking a chapter. I'll let you folks know what happens as I still have my rental from BV.
