Great news for Blu-ray.

High Def Digest (76HD/58BD) review comparison. Last updated 12.22.06

HD DVD	 PQ 	 SQ 	 TOTAL 		Blu-ray	 PQ 	 SQ 	 TOTAL 
	 3.90 	 3.68 	 3.79 			 3.91 	 3.81 	 3.86 

Sig will be updated soon. The overall total from the three sites is now equal as well.

Oh man, this is too good!

Someone has just got to post this at AVS! I would love to see how they react to this one, especially those who used to rely on HiDef Digest to prove that HD-DVD PQ was better than BD!

And let me say this: I have pretty much agreed with Peters reviews. Obviously there are going to be exceptions, but I think he is on the money most of the time. In fact, I now trust his reviews more than WSR. WSR has a new disc reviewer now (Suzanne Hodges left unfortunately, and she was pretty good), and I just am not at all in step with the new guy.

I agree that this would be good to post at AVS, but some of those folks just don't think rationally over there. Dobyblue would get unnecessarily bashed.

Blu-ray has a SUPER-DUPER strong lead for Audio/Sound quality.

This come especially at a point when Amir is putting his so-called DD+ and DTS-ES audio codecs as "near-lossless" or whatever

Full lossless codecs are where it's at.

Well, we obviously are not getting Lawrence "by the end of 2006". They are working on it though, and Robert Harris will be helping with some of the color timing!
