ok, so i just test water la ho with iron man..here's what i can say so far:

PQ - i agree, nothing really to shout about, but that's not saying it's bad. not at all! it's on par with any big blockbuster release on BD. I find that the colors somewhat a bit subdued in the scenes i've tested. of course, we're not expecting crank or speed racer PQ as this is supposed to be gritty and real. black levels are just nice, not too dark, not too gray. i've calibrated my tv with DVE, and i'm comparing one movie to another on same settings.

AQ - i think i understand the concern of the lacking in oomph. the action scenes are nice, and yes, the LFE is ever so present. every thump of iron man can be felt. machine gun bullets whiz by, and iron man flies by around you. however, what was extremely lacking to me is the oomph in clarity of the voice[I]. it's like a bit muffled and yes, i had to crank up a bit than normal. i've checked my DRC, both are off (PS3 and amp). so what gives? i'll try recalibrating my levels again and get back to this. see if make any difference.

wanna ask, I found out that when in sony showroom, the bravia showed very beautiful life like movie or video, well not a blockbuster movie, just a simple HD video. I like to know which BD movie show like that? Want to show to my father

That is because the Bravia you're looking at is Bravia X series 46" Full HD which costs a whopping 18k. Try playing any decent BD on it and it will look just as good.

*yawn* good god, too sleepy after raya. argh!

anyway, i've been going through iron man disc 2's features and yeah, it's a BLAST! a LOT of stuff and all of them are entertaining, especially all the behind the scenes footage. Now i know how good Jon Favreau is as a director with his detailed knowledge of cinematography, audio and CGI. he's also a veryy down to earth and funny guy. So far, I think Iron Man's extras are worth the extra disc, and I would even say a bit better than Transformers, but that's my personal reference.

As for the audio for the movie, I would just like to give a disclaimer on what I mentioned previously: i'm listening with a moderate level volume since i'm in at an apartment area, and my room is small...so i cranked it up to -29db the most. sorry for not mentioning it earlier. sweat.gif doh.gif

so for those taikors with the liberty to put up to higher volume, here's an excerpt from hidefdigest to maybe clear things up:

QUOTE
The full frequency spectrum is note-perfect, and at a loud volume, the level of clarity and detail is reference-quality. Dialogue is firmly placed in the center channel except for a few vocal effects, and is never overwhelmed by the action.


However, it was something of an issue to me as I never had to crank up more for me to hear dialogue in Transformers, so yea, that's my personal reference point.

So my point is, don't be discouraged by what I mentioned, it's still a good disc, and the LFEs are superb! nod.gif

(no, no matter how it sounds, I wasn't being hantam-ed by Paramount. laugh.gif whistling.gif )
