Might just be a hardware thing, maybe HD DVD pl;ayers were better quality than BD players? Who knows. But I did hear a rumour that Universal had been 'tweaking' the transfers again before putting them out on BD. Might even be extra DNR, not sure. Whatever, it still looks amazing on BD,but it does leave me kind of wishing I'd hung on to the HD DVD as, to my eyes at least, it looks crisper and sharper with more detail on the HD DVD.
In fact, back when I was enjoying HD DVD, every single HD DVD I watched blew me away with its quality. Blu-ray has been a bit of a mixed bag so far. I just think that with the format war long over the studios have become lazy with the absence of any hi-def optical disc competition. |
