Dave, I think we're agreeing on the PQ here. I have to admit, part of what is happening for me is that the 65" VT is really, really showing me details like the digital look, the EE and things like oversharpening. And I'm not used to seeing that, not in such detail, so to speak. So it's...

I may have been unclear about the sound mix in the review - I buried my note about its origin. I believe the 7.1 mix is based on the newer mix done for the 2006 Platinum Edition DVD, which enhanced the gunfire, etc. I didn't have the same experience of problems with the songs - I was able...
