Is this proper quality? - Blu-ray Forum

am1Go · 10-21-2008, 03:45 PM

Hi!

I recently bought myself a new computer with a nvidia 9800GX2 gfx that has DVI exits and a new monitor; Benq FP241W (is compatible with hdmi/dvi/vga).
The problem i'm having is that most movies are grainy, I've read around the forum and it appears that this is sometimes intentional, but I'm even noticing some (not much though) grain in animated movies.

I've put up a screen of casino royal 1080i that i consider being way to grainy, but maybe I'm overreacting and its an acceptable amount?

I'd appreciate any answers, not knowing whether something needs to be fixed or if I'm just being way to picky is driving me nuts!

that picture doesnt look horrible...maybe my PC screen doesn't show it very well.

have you calibrated your monitor?

Casino Royal is a little grainy anyways, that screen cap looked good to me.

this doesnt look bad at all, considering that the grain part might be from
1. the source (some scenes in CR have a few grain issues)
2. the tv isnt calibrated yet. did you?
3. too much sharpness? bring it down a bit if you find that to be favorable.
