When I get a chance to steal my sister's camera, I'll post pics of my setup. Everybody else's is looking great so far. I have the same tv loadedstatement has, though we took the stickers off of ours. :P

 

Hey now, that TV was bought a mere 4 days ago. I don't want to violate it yet. I'm a neat freak >.< I will take it off eventually though.

Btw, I see you went dual format. Good choice, for those that can afford to do it. :)

 

Yep. I did decide to go dual format. I'm enjoying having an even larger selection of DVDs to choose from. Before last week, I had honestly never seen too much in HD. A friend had a big HD TV that I watched a football game on once. But thats it. Now that I've been watching it for a week, I don't see how I ever lived without it. SD just seems sub-par now.

 

 

 

Tell me about it.  I first started buying movies on Blu-Ray before I even got my HDTV, after having seen plenty of anecdotal reviews about just how awesome HD is, and knowing we'd get an HDTV soon enough soon enough.  When I first popped in PotC2after we got the new tv a month ago, I was floored!  Especially with the crazy MotionFlow set on high on the XBR4.

My only beef with the motionflow is that it artifacts a lot around the edges on fast moving seens.  The worst I've seen so far is when they pan across the Rohirrim army in LotR: RotK, just before they go charging into the orcs at the battle of the Pelennor Fields.  It also artifacts a lot in the first fight scene between harry and Peter in SM3, and not just around teh edges, but all over the screen.

I have quite a love/hate relationship with the motionflow.  The artifacting bugs the crap out of my eyes, yet things look so boring without it turned on, because it truly makes things look 3D, and when I only set it to low, it still has some artifacting but without the 3D effect.  What are your thoughts on it?

 

 Ehhh the artifacting doesn't bug me too much.  I notice it though.  I think the Sony Bravia is one of the best HDTVs on the market and it really handles it well compared to other big screens.  Basically, the fact that it artifacts from time to time is outweighed by the sheer quality I feel like I am receiving from it.  Im happy with my purchase. =]
