0k, I don't know if this is something that I should be posting somewhere else, but since I notice it on a Sony HW50 projector I thought I should ask here.
Basically it is like this, while copies of new blue rays play fine, there is something really badly wrong with the quality of blue-ray copies of older films. They look very low resolution and grimy and the colours are often way off what they should be (sometimes they seem worse than DVD). I realise a lot of people are going to dismiss this because of the age of the films, but here's the thing - one of the reasons I bought a projector in the first place was seeing a clip of an older film in a demo room on a comparable projector and being blown away by the quality of it. I've gone to plenty of re-showings of these older films, so I know it really isn't a case of the film itself being at fault. Is it that studios just don't care about the transfer of some of their older films to blue ray, or is it something I'm doing wrong?
I have a PS3 and recently got a Darbee, but I noticed this problem before when it was just the PS3. The films I've tested are Back to the Future (all three), The Shining, and several others.
