Re: WHV Announcement: The Dark Knight (DVD/Blu-ray)
I can not wait to buy this movie on Blu-ray but I guess I will have to wait and see how I feel about the aspect ratio changing after I have viewed it a few times. And then again in the future after I get my 100" screen and 1080p projector? If the clip on the Blu-ray of Batman Begins is any indication then the transfer is going to be reference on The Dark Knight.

Watching a 2.35:1 film on an Elite meant that the borders blended in seamlessly with the television's bezel, with no noticeable difference in the shade of black. They were THAT perfect. From standing right up almost touching the screen with my nose, to several feet away, I could not see where the bezel ended and the border began!
In other words, yes your mattes would be useless.

Just bought a 151FD 60" Elite last month and the blacks are the best on any flat panel ever made. I can't wait to watch TDK on my new baby.

Congrats, man. You chose the best-of-the-best in televisions.

Thanks. I spent a lot of time over at AVS in the plasma section and after almost pulling the trigger back in February on a 150FD I decided to wait for the newest gen. which would supposedly have better blacks along with other improvements. So far, all I can say is that I'm completely blown away by this set. It's replacing a Panasonic 50" 7UY which at the time I bought it was the plasma with the best black levels on the market. The KURO blacks are so much deeper it almost makes my Panny look like an LCD.
