I know I'm going to get the forum's AVS fans all over me with this, but the PS3's DVD up-scaling must be amazing, because I just can't tell the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD at 720p.
Set: Bravia 26" @ 720p. (KLV-S26A10)
Player: PS3
Connection: HDMI (direct)
I've looked at a few for direct comparison so far. Casino Royale (my test) and Catch and Release (wife's) both were pretty underwhelming. On Catch and Release in particular, I honestly couldn't tell the difference when testing blindly.
I don't know what could be wrong with me. I have optometrist-certified perfect vision. I'm able to make out obvious artifacts in the Blu-Ray versions (whether it's just compression or a poor film transfer, I can't tell). Casino Royale generally looked a little cleaner, but definitely not a jump.
So what do I need?
1. Better vision
2. Less bias
3. A 1080p set
4. More hype
