Shrek isn't Pixar, it's Dreamworks. Pixar is Blu-ray only and it looks fantastic.

The studio is irrelevant. It's a product of computer graphics.
Hence the question...

I have a SanyoZ4 projector and an A3 player.
What am I missing?

I rented Shrek the Third since it's #1 on the PQ list. I thought it looked...okay. Sure, some particularly bright scenes were popping, but, overall, I feel like something is wrong.
It was really bringing me down re my recent A3 purchase. Then I loaded The Searchers. When I look at The Searchers, it just shouts HD. Every reason we want HD, why old films are remastered & transfered, yaddah yaddah, wonderful!
Hot Fuzz was also razor sharp (and great AQ) as well. Shrek was disappoing to me on both PQ & AQ.
What am I missing? Is Pixar stuff made for Plasmas?
Are Projectors & Screens for film lovers and high quality transfers?

Just a quick thank you (with commentary):
FrancescoP made me laugh. Yes, I am missing 1.1M pixels but the projector is less than 2 years old. Didn't plan on replacing it quite so soon. 1080p projectors were not to be had for $2k 2 years ago.
...But you do raise my question that adding the A3 to a projector that already upscaled SDs fairly well was a modest improvement, not a quantum leap.
Sky and Phil shared my observations on Shrek so that helps.
Almostgoth - what's your screen material and gain? Also, is that a high def cello?![]()

I don't know man, perhaps it is your tv. Shrek 3 is just stunning on my LCD. My daughter is watching it right now as I type this.

Shrek 3 had a very earthy and toned down palette. The transfer did look Amazing, but next to Cars or Ratatoullie it doesn't have that colorful "wow" factor.
