I watched "The Last House on the Left" Blu Ray on a Mitsubishi WD65737 with my PS3 last night and had some serious issues. During dark scenes the screen grain was so visible it was almost unwatchable. During bright scenes with sunlight, etc. it looked fine.

I changed the basic settings (brilliant, natural, etc.) and this did not help. I have only noticed this with blu ray. I previously noticed this with extra bright scenes while watching "Mad Men" on Blu Ray also.....but it wasn't as drastic. I wish I would have taken a picture. There were times when it was dark in the movie and the whole screen had tiny white grainy spots all over it....it was bad.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced anything like this?? Could it be the quality of this movie?, HDMI cable? (it's the same one I had hooked up to a Sony LCD and it always worked great). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

sometimes it is just poor quality transfer.had same experience with die hard collection blue ray series.die hard was excellent die hard 2 was terrible.

I think you may be right. I went home for lunch and put in "The Dark Knight" and it looked fine in the dark scenes. It's really unfortunate that certain Blu Rays may look bad on this TV (and I mean REALLY bad).....definitely a negative for this TV. I bought it for the size, but I already miss the picture quality of my Sony LCD flat panel...hopefully in a year or so 65" LCD's will be more affordable....anybody know much about this price wise???

After more research i found this on BluRay.com in their review of the movie:

"The Blu-ray edition of Last House on the Left features an exceedingly faithful 1080p/VC-1 transfer that, vile and repulsive imagery aside, looks fantastic in high definition. Grain-haters will despise every noisy frame of Sharone Meir's gritty photography but, in my estimation, it results in a snuff aesthetic of sorts that enhances the atmosphere of the piece and pays homage to Craven's original vision. "

I guess certain movies are just going to look really bad on this TV. Apparently this TV really enhances graininess and takes it to a whole new level.
