NOTICE: Due to the volume of titles currently available and upcoming, the decision has been made to alphabetize the titles within their respective tiers in the original PQ thread. Tier 0 will remain as-is, Tiers 1-5 will be reorganized.

This thread is to serve as an archive copy of the Blu-ray PQ Thread before these changes are made. A lot of work has gone into this list and placement of titles, and we feel it is best to preserve a copy of it in it's current state. This list will not be maintained.

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING BEFORE POSTING COMMENTS ABOUT A MOVIE'S TIER:

Movies are placed based on user feedback. We always strive to honor user feedback and at least listen to people's viewpoints on tier placement before settling differences in
opinion. In order to do so we require certain information to be included in your posts. If you do not post this information in your post you can expect your opinion to be ignored as we feel asking for this
information has been clearly stated multiple times. Below is the minimum information to include in your posts:

When posting your thoughts about Tier placement please be sure to include the following or your post has no chance of impacting the tier:

Screen Resolution (EX: 1920X1080X24p or 1920X1080X60p)
Screen Size (EX: 100" Projection, 50" Plasma)
Distance from Screen

If you are citing a problem with a disk's tier placement please provide timings when possible so they can be reviewed for artifacting. You are welcome to include this info your

signature if you like as to my knowledge it doesn't violate the forum signature rules

Rob Tomlin and SuprSlow are moderating this thread with me and helping tier titles based on user feedback.

How it works

The list is continuously changing with each new release, so check the list frequently to see where the picture quality of your favorite film rates. Also, the list is not definitive but rather constantly evolving according to majority rule, meaning that a film within a particular tier can be moved if the majority feels the picture quality of said film should be rated higher or lower. In this way,
we remain objective and the opinion of others is equally heard. Each title within its respective tier is also ranked in order of picture quality (e.g., Training Day is higher than World Trade Center because
it has a slightly better picture quality). With each new release, the picture quality of a certain film will be ranked based on my initial viewing, and then moved about based on majority rule. So remember to
post your opinion of where you think a title should be ranked and we will consider moving it accordingly.

Please keep in mind that the list is not intended to reflect the quality of a director’s intention and such judgments should be avoided when assessing picture quality. For example, Kingdom of Heaven
was intentionally shot with a grainy film stock and different color palettes to fit the subject matter, but this stylistic choice did not hinder the sharp detail of the picture. This list is also not
intended as a means of comparing the superiority of one format over the other since the list is purely subjective, not conclusive.

However, the tier system is intended as a means of encouraging each other to watch new releases (whether they are day-and-date or catalog), express our opinion concerning the picture quality and see
how it compares to reviews published on this site or other websites.

How to assess picture quality

What you want to look for is the sharpness of detail (does the picture have plenty of depth and pop-out of the screen or does it look real and film-like), color (are they true to reality, especially
blues, reds and greens; are blacks black and whites white), and video artifacts (is the picture bobbed or is there too much noise and edge enhancement).

Sometimes, the picture is so sharp that it’s almost three-dimensional or characters on screen appear to live in a three-dimensional space. This 3-D effect can be ruined by a picture being too soft or
out-of-focus. A good example of this is the intentional softness of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. While the picture of the film is very good and looks very film-like, it lacks depth. However, it
still ranks in Tier 3 because it also lacks any video artifacts and the picture quality is very pristine.

Video artifacts are a common result of the amount of damage the original master copy of the film has sustained over time; but they can also be a result of the process used to transfer a film into a
digital media. A bobbed image is, simply put, the process of upconverting a picture with a resolution of 480-scan lines to 1080p, creating “jaggies” or “stair-stepping.” This process can also result in rare
cases of chroma noise, which affects solid colors like blues and reds by making them appear grainy rather than pure. Other video artifacts which can be problematic are low level noise (which affects the
blackest part of the image, making it look grainy and almost grey rather than a deep, solid black), macro-blocking (which is a result of bandwidth limitations and exposes pixels, making fast-paced scenes
look pixelated), and edge enhancement (which results in a halo effect around a character or object; it’s a visible issue for those folks using CRT projectors or digital front projectors).

Here are some common Terms and Descriptions:

(EE) Refers to Edge Enhancement. A digital image processing filter used by some studios to improves the apparent sharpness of the video. The creation of bright and dark highlights on either side of any line
leaves the line looking more contrasted from a distance. It actually makes the picture less detailed because fine details are covered by the resulting "halo" artifacts.

(DNR) Refers to Digital Noise Reduction. A process which uses a digital filtering algorithm on the digital image data to reduce the amount of random noise (like film grain, electronic noise of the teleciné,
comb filter artifacts in composite video sources, film speckles, dirt, scratches etc.) but can result in an actual loss of resolution and fine details, the exact elements of a image that define realism.

(VDF) Refers to Vertical Domain Filtering. A frequent process applied to old 1080i masters to improve their appearance on 1080i display. The vertical pixels are essentially doubled because of the filtering.
When deinterlaced to 1080p for HD DVD it looks like the scan was made at 960x1080 rather than the full 1920x1080. That creates the appearance of aliased edges.

(Banding) Colour banding is a problem of inaccurate colour presentation that causes abrupt changes between shades of the same colour. For instance in displaying natural gradients (like sunsets, dawns or
clear blue skies).


How each Tier is categorized and other signifiers

Tier 0 - Blu (Reference)

--- The picture quality of the transfer is in pristine shape and practically perfect with no visible video artifacts. The image is so clean and sharp that it maintains a realistic feel throughout and

serves as great demo material. We recommend owning at least one of these films!


Tier 1 - Gold (Excellent)

--- Video artifacts are next to nothing with a good sense of realistic feel. The image is sharp and nicely detailed and still serves as a good demo material.

Tier 2 - Silver (Good)

--- The image maintains a sharp film-like quality throughout which looks real, with less 3-D effect than Tier 1 and video artifacts are far and few in between.

Tier 3 - Bronze (Average)

--- Although a step up from large standard definition DVD, the transfer has added only some detail and depth with little video artifacts; doesn't POP as much, but still film-like quality.

Tier 4 - Copper (Underwhelming)

--- Video artifacts are more prevalent while still a decent picture; it‘s difficulty to discern how the transfer has added much to the picture quality, because it‘s softer than expected.

Tier 5 - Coal (Poor)

--- Slightly better or on-par with its Up-Converted DVD counterpart with video artifacts being too distracting, plenty of softness, and no real depth or detail.

(BD-J) : “Blu-ray Disc Java“ , an interactive feature developed by the BDA, which allows for network access and picture-in-picture commentary and has yet to be fully implemented.

(IME) : “In-Movie Experience” , an interactive feature expected on future Warner releases, much like BD-J.

(PCM) : uncompressed Pulse Code Modulation (24 bit/48 kHz), which is the digital version of a film‘s sound design as it was originally recorded in the studio.

(TrueHD) : Dolby TrueHD, a lossless audio codec (24 bit/96 kHz) developed by Dolby Laboratories.

(DTS-MA) : DTS-HD Master Audio, a lossless audio codec (24 bit/96 kHz) developed by Digital Theater System (DTS).

(DTS-HD) : DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, an alternative to DTS-HD Master Audio capable of 3.0 Mbps and used as an option when disc space is limited.

Note: We refer to HD-POP in this thread as a way to express how much 'WOW' factor a release has or how much 'POP' the image has when viewed.

Note: Each title now links to it's respective page on High Definition Database (www.hddb.net (http://www.hddb.net/)). HDDb.net tracks reviews of each BD title and is constantly updated to

add the latest reviews.
