For the shows that are only out on DVD but not Blu, but that are available on Netflix in HD, when you go to watch them, do you watch your DVDs or go for the HD stream?
I recently started rewatching 24. I saw Netflix offered the early seasons in HD, which are only on DVD at the moment. I thought the HD stream might look better than my DVDs, so I gave it a try… but after a few episodes, I wasn't impressed, and went to the DVD. The DVD, upscaled to my 50" plasma, looked better than what Netflix was sending me. So far I've noticed the same for what I've watched so far in Season 2.
(My stream quality is usually pretty good, I have no complains or similar questions about their HD new releases… so I think we can rule out internet speed as a factor in my case.)
Has anyone else had similar experiences? Or the opposite?
