The New PQ Tier thread for Blu-Ray - Discussion - Page 49

Glad to see I'm not alone here, I knew this was a bad movie going in but I really wanted it to look and sound good. Ughhh

Just watched robocop. This one is hard to judge. Some times I was thinking wow this looks pretty good and other times I was thinking this looks pretty bad. Overall I'd place it low tier 2 to upper tier 3. I'm watching on a Samsung 46 inch 1080p lcd

I completely agree on the PQ.

I totally agree!

Recommendation - An up arrow for items moved up on the list and a down arrow for items moved down on the list. (Similar to the new items icon. Something that can be removed after say...30 days or whatever).

The problem we're running into is the forum software limits a single post to 10 images.

That's a great idea, and I'd love to implement it, but if you look through the first post, I think there are a couple of titles that were added on Dec. 5, but do not have the new icon preceding the title, simply because it's over the limit.

Does that limit apply to images hosted remotely and only linked in the post?

Yes, I believe so. It even counts smilies as images.



I just got this message trying to add an 11th smilie:
"Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator."

OK, either request special dispensation from the admins or simply use text (up) or (down) to designate a recent move.

This is a great idea. I would use (dn) instead, to preserve spacing.

I watched about 20 minutes or so of Ratatouille last night and I completely agree with all here on this as a 0 tier. Definitely a BD benchmark simply stunning!

Will do. I think that will add a nice touch to the rankings.


I got my copy of it last night for my birthday, can't wait to see it.

How about (+5) or (-2) to indicate the direction and magnitude of the move?

SuprSlow, you're doing a great job and I really hesitate to bring this up. If I might make a suggestion form the eyes-aren't-as-good-as they-used-to-be set. Because some of the titles are hard to read in some of the categories because of the text color, keep the headings in the colors you now have them in but convert the title entries to black. Have new listings in red for a pre determined time, perhaps 2 weeks and any titles that have changed rankings in blue or green, whichever looks best on screen, adding whatever abbreviation you want for up or down.

There was a period early on when the different AVS color schemes issue was discussed. With the number of colors required for all of the tier levels, the colors that worked best for both schemes ran out before all tiers were "colored" and this means compromise colors had to be used. The ones settled on and in use now are what was decided by the thread admins (who I suspect are using AVSForum.com Black). Are you using "AVSForum.com Default?"

Happy Birthday! Thank you for all your time and effort.

I use AVSForum.BLACK, and the only color that looks fuzzy and I have trouble seeing is the Blu in Tier 0. Every other color shows up very clear. Does anybody else experiance this?

Darned if I know. The posts are in black type on a very light blue grey background.

You can see that information at the very end of the page, in the lower-left corner, right before the "hosting"/"powered by" information. It's a drop-down list.

Since you probably haven't changed this, you might be seeing AVSForum.com Default

Yep, if you don't know and never selected a color scheme, you've got "Default" which is exactly as you described. The lighter colored text is damn near invisible for us.

Hmm...I'm running the Default scheme, and to me it's easier on the eyes than Black. I didn't have any involvement in the color scheme, but I think it was agreed that the current colors are the best compromise for the different forum skins. Though I'd have to go back and look to be certain.

I don't contribute to this thread, but I read it all the time as I rent/buy BR discs frequently. I just wanted to say to AustinSTI and SuprSlow that you guys go above and beyond in maintaining this thread and I very much appreciate the work you put into it. Thank you, you guys are awesome.

p.s. please don't ever make this thread into one where everyone votes on the titles. It's great as is.

It was agreed by those running Black that the current colors are the best compromise for the different forum skins.

lol

Is Silver the color causing the trouble? That's the hardest to see for me personally.

When you run black, the blue is the only one that is difficult to see.

I think in default, the silver is the tough one.

Yes, it nearly matches the background color on Default. When I look at those titles, I highlight the list like I am going to "copy" it.

Ok, I had a chance to watch this great movie tonight.

My first thoughts: what in the world were people smoking who said that this belonged in Tier 0?

I am just glad that this is a dual format release, otherwise I may have been concerned about "fanboyism" taking place, but that obviously isn't the case here.

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed overall. Once again, too much softness from a Warner title. The contrast is not bad, but it isn't as good as on more recent releases, that's for sure. Some scenes did look great, but overall, it was not much better than average (though like others have said, for a movie its age, it looks pretty good). Didn't look noticeably better than the HD-Net Movies version (except it had fewer artifacts).

Let's just say in comparing it to other movies I have seen in 70mm, it doesn't come close to the detail and resolution that format is capable of resolving.

I am going to have to go against the grain here, as I can't even recommend this title for Tier 1. There are several titles in Tier 2 that are better than this imo. I recommend putting this in the top 6-8 in Tier 2.

Let the flames begin!
