Blu-Ray quality disappointing

[diddlyD]

i think sometimes it takes a bit to adjust to what you are actually seeing that you don't see on SD DVDs. Hair, texture in skin and clothes, small background details, etc, might not be immediately obvious to someone just seeing an HD disc for the first couple of times.

Trying to go back to SD DVD's after getting used to even low-range picture quality Blu-ray discs though is quite a let down. SD content just looks so weak in comparison.

I totally agree. When I first got into this I did comparisons with Underworld. I could tell a slight difference but was afraid the average guy wouldnt. As time went on I continued to just watch BD movies. One day I popped in a standard DVD and I couldnt believe how bad it looked....

I should add to this that my first viewings were with the Sammy and the noise chip engaged....

And to the OP.... Underworld and Xmen are considered reference standard DVD's. Remember DVD has 15 years of experience vs the infant BD. Try comparing MI3 on both versions.
