    Chronicles of Narnia BD Release May 13

    This is one of the few I will get on HD even though I already have it on SD just got to have it on HD. I can only imagine how good the HD PQ will be since the SD PQ version is still amazing it ought to be beautiful.

    I AM LEGEND BD/HD Details

    Received the HD-DVD yesterday and played it last night although I dont have the Blu version to compare it to I will say the HD-DVD is a reference quality picture. It jumps out of the screen.

    Seeing Red - will you stock up on the inevitable clearance sales on HD DVDs?

    I have a purple player but have found that I like Hd-Dvd best. Even the title I want is available on Blu-Ray I will opt for the Hd-Dvd format even if it is not on sale. So for right now I am just getting HD-DVD until new releases are no longer being offered at all in Hd-Dvd only then, and when...

    A Few Words About A few words about... Sleepy Hollow -- in High Definition

    I just got my HD-DVD of this one yesterday and played it last night. I sau some grain and to set the noise reduction to medium then the picture was perfect. Great camera angles and cinematography.

    LETS TALK ABOUT 1080p/24fps

    I have the set Sony KDS-60A3000 that accepts 1080p/24fps and a player Samsung BD-UP5000 that outputs that too. The not so good one I have found so far is the Lady in the water. It was better watched with 24fps turned off. And I don't know why all the rest look amazing IMO at 24fps.

    LETS TALK ABOUT 1080p/24fps

    I did learn something movies were originally shot at 18fps but when sound was added it was too slow for sound and that was the reason for 24fps. ...and a little more on 24fps.... : Adobe After Effects

    LETS TALK ABOUT 1080p/24fps

    I have not found a thread dedicated to just talking about 24fps. so thought I would start one. I think I like it. Many of the movies @ 1080p/24fps look very much like the theater and some not so good. But would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this subject. Likes and dislikes, it is...

    BEST/WORST MOVIES AT 24fps

    It may be a player issue IDK but it does not do it in straight 1080p with 24fps turned off. The movie itself is perfect no rolling at 24fps. I will ask the others in the 5000 owners BD-UP5000 Universal Player Samsung [OFFICIAL OWNERS THREAD] & FAQ - Page 160 - AVS Forum thread if they have...

    Well If your just looking at OTA ATSC here is one. Amazon.com: Samsung DTBH260F HDTV Terrestrial Receiver: Electronics I only use OTA too and my set has an ATSC built in but the problem is that there is no TV Guide and that only thing I don't like about it so I am going to wait for the...

    Turntable calibration help please.

    Well the formula is correct..what ever the down force is set at the anti skate should match. It the table perfectly level? I re level and reset mine at least once a month With out a down force gauge you could still be on the light side try going up in small increments on each setting.
