Re: What to buy on Bluray?


I bought and watched X-Men 3 on bluray the other day and it totally blows away the DVD version in terms of sound quality. There is way more going on in the surround channels, much deeper bass and greater dynamic range and clarity. I would say it's the best movie I've watched on Bluray so far for sound effects.

The PQ is not mind blowing, but is better than the DVD version. The picture has a slight grain to it, but is still smooth and colorful. I find that most Blurays compared to their DVD counterparts have much better contrast and black levels.

I wouldn't upgrade a whole collection unless you have money to burn. I would however upgrade select favorites and then use a good upconverting player for the rest of your DVDs.
