Vacancy

I'm watching this movie for the 6th time now.

This movie is a really good tool to test out how well your TV can display black levels. Man if you try running this thing on a LCD or Projection set you would be screwed... The LCDs are not known to show super deep black levels in the dark. Watch this thing in the dark room with very lightly lit room or no light. My highly tweaked high-end HTPC Plasma (w/ DVI-D) is barely handling it.

PQ is very very "good".


This is a good testing tool for handling darkness.

Pictures are extremely clean in the dark. No speckles, no blemishes, no graininess, colors are not over-saturated, it maintains AWESOME flesh tones in the dark. It is very tough for the film to retain such great PQ in the extreme dark scenes. But this movie has no artifacts nor any redish skin tone you get from some of the older films. The flesh tones are absolutely dead-on throughout the entire movie.


You need some high-end, well calibrated plasma or CRT to get the best out of this movie if you're going to watch this movie in the dark. Watching the dark movie in the black dark room is the toughest challenge for your TV. If you watch this movie in the daylight the LCD can handle this... but if you watch it in the dark you are screwed... lol


I give this movie PQ rating as follows:

Black Levels = 9.90
Contrast Balance = 9.90
Clarity = 9.98
3D depth = 9.70
Color tones = 9.99
Flesh tones in the dark = 9.99
Details in the dark = 9.90


Whoever recorded this movie, come on out. Don't go hiding behind that couch, camera man. This ain't no fool, no amateurs' job. This is some highly experienced sick professional dude who did this work. This takes a lot of tweaking, fine tuning settings, and a real high-end camera. Normal HD camera can't do this good... C'mon on out camera man. Don't be shy. Let's meet and I buy you a cup of coffee.
