OK.
I have two superbit dvds 'cos I heard they were the best.
R1 international uncut edition Leon/professional - what a load of pants pq wise. VERY visible outline artifact on figures especially. Have since found out it's because ColTri DIDN'T use the actual master copy for the transfer, they just tried to "Jazz Up" their original master (a copy of the actual master if you see what I mean). Even if this isn't true, the pq is still no better than the normal version.
R2 Gattaca. No real difference. If you look closely (eg to the close up of the finger:blood taking analyser in the front lobby at the beginning) the bright white background is not uniform white but looks 'speckly'. Again, not much better than original and CERTAINLY not better pq than standard non-superbit dvds from other people (like matrix).
Overall, what a load of rubbish. It could be that as I have a front projector and view a 6 foot wide image, I pick up the discrepencies more easily but even then, I reckon that there are many standard dvds out there that beat superbits in pq stakes.
Or am I just being blind?
I was going to get the superbit versions of Das Boot and Crouching tiger... and sell my copies, but I can't really see the point now.
was I just unlucky with these two superbits or are they all rubbish compared to the extra expense?
PS
