Whats the best Blu-ray to Demo Your System? - Blu-ray Forum

yungl1nk · 07-01-2008, 06:12 PM

I had a couple friends over recently and i put on spider-man 3 but the sed they couldnt really tell the difference(part of that was jealousy) but anyways i did kinda notice that it doesnt look as good as something like Casino Royale or the Prestige. So what do u guys say?

P.S.: Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ80U 50-Inch 1080p Plasma w/ PS3

I put in Rambo and everyone was amazed.

DHORRILLENO · 07-01-2008, 06:14 PM

Try I Robot it looks great for me. Especially if you have the 120h tv.

a-mac2848 · 07-01-2008, 06:14 PM

Spiderman 3 looks very good.

Movies that look better, try I, Robot, Pirates of the Carribean (any of them), Casino Royale, Sunshine, Ratatouille, Cars.

Just curious, what kind of TV do you have?

coolmilo · 07-01-2008, 06:15 PM

Those are good. Also, try Cars, Narnia, and Spiderman 3.

cathexist · 07-01-2008, 06:16 PM

Cars is the most impressive to me

allstar780 · 07-01-2008, 06:17 PM

300 looks amazing on Blu... Across the Universe has great picture and sound... National Treasure 2...

CptGreedle · 07-01-2008, 06:21 PM

Cars, Ratatouille, 300, Happy Feet...
I have demoed my system with all of these.
I am looking forward to I Robot, I am Legend, V for Vendetta, Wall•E, etc...
Across the Universe was an AMAZING movie. I rented it once, and decided that night that we have to buy it! It is on my birthday list at the top.

SS316SRV · 07-01-2008, 06:22 PM

Day of the Dead

(not really, do not use this as demo material)

lol..

This is funny because it reminds me of some of my friends. About a month after Pirates of the Caribbean was released to Blu-Ray, I had a couple of friends over and I was showing off the Blu-Ray on my old HDTV. They said the same thing... "I don't see a difference... I think you wasted your money on this... Blu-Ray is all hype... etc..."

So I popped the DVD into my DVD recorder (PotC was a double dip for me, and I had yet to give away the DVD edition), and skipped forward to the same chapter as the Blu was playing on, and started flipping back and forth between AV feeds. One of my buddies was in mid sentence going on about how much of a sucker I was for buying into the Blu-Ray hype, when all of a sudden he stops talking, and his next words were... "oh.... shit!" Ever since then (and especially since I got my Panasonic Plasma TH-42PZ85), he keeps calling every couple of weeks to see if I got any new Blu-rays he can come over and watch.

dave matthews - concert disks are best demo material IMO

b2thafuta · 07-01-2008, 07:35 PM

The one that blew me off my socks was CARS.

DVD:

Blu-ray:

STUNNING!!!

tilapiah6 · 07-01-2008, 07:38 PM

All of the movies that I have listed in my signature look incredible, with a possible exception of There Will Be Blood, which does have some rather grainy dark scenes.
