Movie scene question

Hi All,

I hope first off I'm posting this in the right forum. Secondly, I've asked this before on another forum or two, but I don't know if I've asked the right question, so I'm trying one more attempt.

Currently as it stands I have the following hardware:

Sharp LC-32D62U
Sony BDP-S300

Blu-ray movies look fantastic on my display, and I have no complaints there. I do have a worry though. What originally got me into blu-ray was the bestbuy display I saw. Now I know, I can't get that type of picture quality because of the 120hz screen it was playing on.

What I have noticed with some movies that I play, as an example would be Con Air. Is that the quality of the movie sometimes changes on a per scene basis. What I mean is, the start of the movie may look like the bestbuy display, that amazing lifelike quality. Then 10 minutes later, it won't hold the same "lifelike" quality but still look great, and sometimes it seems to change like that on most blu-rays I've seen.

Is this is a normal trait? Do I perhaps have some bad hardware somewhere?

If my question doesn't make sense I will clarify more. Hopefully though this all makes sense.

Thank you for any help.

You probably answered your own question: your HDTV set doesn't have the 120Hz frame rate conversion feature.

So that is why I might see the difference in the scenes?

Re: Movie scene question

Maybe the film was shot on different stocks of film, depending on whether the scenes were outdoors in bright light of daytime, or indoors under not-as-bright studio conditions? If the outdoors shots are the ones that look fantastic but the shots inside the plane look worse, that'd be a guess.
