OK. I love blu ray. i cant stop buying and my wife is gonna kill me soon enough because i just bought Planet Earth as well. ONly thing i didnt get yet is the audio HD yet. any way. The only issue i have is for instance...when i play a movie and it looks grainy or its a horrible transfer how do i explain that to people...They are like...well my dvd doesnt grain or look like that, I dont know what to say.. i see people also making the joke about 300 as grainy..i dont get it lol. it did look grainy but it also looked amazing to me...my wife complained...i thought maybe it was suppose to look like that. I also wanted to know how to get the possible best quality or highest bitrates. do certain players create better bitrates? i have a ps3 with hdmi going to my phillips 42inch LCD 1080p TV. just wanna make sure im doin it all right...thanks alot for answering my rant

Turn down your sharpness, calibrate your TV, and let me know your results. Planet Earth should be pristine.

lol i did the avia calibration..but that was after i watched 300. ill go pop it in now and see how it looks lol

so does calibration effect the bitrates that the blu ray puts out? cuz i would think that it would have nothing to do with that. how do you get maxium bitrates out of a blu ray?

if you have the rat movie, there is a calibration tool on the bd too. I used it to tweak my tv.
