I know there is a forum for HD programming. However, because so many projector owners/shoppers use The Fifth Element as a reference standard, I was wondering if anyone else watched it tonight (or whenever) on HBOHD.
I do not own the DVD but demoed a Sharp Z9000 and Marantz S2 with it. I have not seen the DVD on my calibrated Sharp Z10000. Tonight I fired up the Sharp and caught the last half of the film on HBOHD. I was totally blown away. It looked phenomenal. The colors were incredibly rich and vibrant. The image was sharp (no pun intended) with no artifacts I could see. Simply stunning.
I think this now has taken over the top spot in my book (formerly held by Bandits on HBOHD) for shear picture beauty. The sound was great too. The only downside was the occaisional cable "glitch".
If you get a chance, I'd love to hear how the HBOHD version compares to the DVD version. Even if you don't have the DVD, watch the HBO version if you can. I'm guessing it'll bring out the best of most HD-2 chip projectors.
