Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**
Alright, so for those who were interested, I took three quick shots last night (before a few of us watched TDK again haha), and here's my receiver, two speaker locations (front right and front rear, you'll see center as well), the size of my TV, and what kind of distance I have from my bed, etc. Plus you get to see some cool wall decor.
Mind anything that you consider a mess. I didn't try and clean up for you guys:
So as you can see... 23", nothing big, but it is a damn good 23" TV. I have it calibrated to the best of my ability (without going into the service menu) and with the best eyes and scientific whatevers about gamma rays and such and colorization being correct. Sharpness is down to zero, and again, it's a 23" 720p set. Now, from that viewing distance from my bed, even the first shots after the opening scene, when Ramirez walks into Woerz's office, it's an instant notification of edge-enhancement. I didn't need to go onto AVS for people to tell me that, and in fact, I didn't. Sure, I borrowed their screencaps because I don't have any, but beyond that I know what I'm seeing. So, it's not just for those people that have 60" screens (though when I get it for Christmas I'll be able to check it out on the 52" Panny plasma at home and let you know if it looks any better or worse to my eyes).
I want to post some shots of my movies in action, but my camera simply isn't up to snuff. When I choose Image Stabilization, it's just a pixelated mess. I'll see if I can borrow someone else's camera, and if in the shots I can still detect the EE and you guys can't, then this whole thing is just an unfortunate happening that only bothers me, because it's really there if you can notice it. I'll just say that you guys are lucky.
