Will write a new post later. Currently using my phone in a fringe area...anyway...What a difference a properly functioning Blu Ray player makes. Watching a bit of it now and it looks fabulous.Currently using the Orei with a Denon AVR connected to a garage sale find Polaroid LCD. Possession looks...

OK, let me reiterate again.The blue was probably the fault of full RGB. I haven't replicated that much blue since. (and it still could be over-cooked camera)ALIS panels cause exaggerated banding. The "green screen look" is nowhere near as bad with the Orei set...1080i/60. (instead of 1080P/24)

The primary issue is the ALIS display and banding. That was the major flaw with ALIS(but back before 2007, there was no "progressive banding"...unless it was 480P, then it didn't matter). When you get progressive banding(which this disc does have)...ALIS can't handle it.

Yeah I don't know what is going on with Chroma or anything else. I fired up Pillow Book again and it still looks fabulous(which would be the other hard test of my 4 EU discs). This disc looks millions of magnitudes better on the Panny 1080P. Depending if Bombay gives me grief on an exchange on...

Funny you mention that...looking awful.... There are two reasons for that(will add a 2nd edit to the originating post)... 1. This Orei likes to brick itself when going into standby(started that when watching this movie, have already contacted Bombay for a replacement). When you unplug it it...

ALIS, I had completely forgotten about that. I did say it was an interweaving plasma. (in these days of 1080P sets and "no, plasma were never interlaced..." that some people tend to believe...) Anyway, I get the point where it is inherent with the ALIS that edge enhancement(even after...

I added an edit to the originating post that when I have time tomorrow, I will move the player. The plasma in question is an interlacer that has a penchant for exaggerating banding. Yay. The OM of the Orei frankly sucks. I looked again at the picture settings it gives you and any enhancements...

Last tidbit, then I "give up on this for the night"(pictures...whatever is wrong). I know the difference between film grain and the flecking. The scene when she "sees Jesus" (banding evident in the dress, not so bad as the beginning apt scene) and then goes berzerk in the subway (lots of grain...

Don't know what happened, loaded three pics in three posts and the first two disappear...but they "are there" when I go to edit...

Since my file sizes are too big, we'll discuss them here. The first picture Sam and Isabelle appear to have been added over green screen. Not bad, but BluRay.com mentions the banding in this scene. 2nd picture the chair appears to be "green screen". Third the white flecks "flow" with the...

And finally the white flecking(originally I said I'd match the same scene with the BluRay screen capture number 9, but it was good. This, during the same scene is what I mean)

And here...

Let's see how this goes...(the picture shows it is here when I go to "edit"...then isn't there...same for the next post) Edit: Now have no clue what is going on. It shows the first pic in "edit"...then shows the third pic when I cancel the edit. Edit II Now the pic is gone again...still...

Everything is HDMI. I use Vanco cabling. Not my first rodeo. I finally watched a touch of Mud. That looks fabulous. I put in 2001 and Baraka:Remaster(The S350 is still connected) and the Orei was not different on either one.

And here we go. When I have a chance to include a screenshot, I'll use "number 9" from BR.com as my reference. (screen shot 9 is the scene I reference above as "How long have I been here") On my display with the Orei, it is nowhere near that clear. The other screenshots chosen are not scenes I...

Ok, they do have a take on this film. He addresses the banding...(however where he mentions banding, I'm having other issues as well...flecking/green screen) "Excluding some light banding that I spotted (the most obvious example being early into the film, in the sequence where Sam Neill and...

I'm going to include the BluRay.com take on the film. Seems we'll see a release over here...but when? http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=222071

The Hitachi is calibrated. Not by a disc. A computer and an "hour-ish of time". (and it wasn't Best Buy. I used to sell CE wholesale. I also design home theater. I know several ICF people) The Orei is "fresh from the box"...But I did turn "off" everything I already know the turn off. It's...

For the record there are only three UK BDs I've watched so far(the only three that have gotten here out of the 8 I've bought). Pillow Book Possession Nine Songs(9 songs) I won't count All the Boys Love Mandy Lane as it plays region A anyway(except for the bonus content). The domestic BDs I've...

It has white flecks all through the scenes, that to me, look DNR'd. The scenes that have the white flecks all look as if shot across a green screen. (this white fleck/green screen is what I'm referring to) So, if it isn't DNR...what is it? The BD player is an Orei going through a TX...

Pre-edit: The region-free BD player I originally used for this advisory(Not calling it a review...as I'm not one for absolute technical merit of video. Audio, yes, video...no) died. I sent the BD player back to where it came from and they are sending a replacement. There is a thread of this BD...
