blu ray let down

[rdsii64]

You said it is set to auto. Do you have a choice other then auto? Can you tell it you want 1080p via hdmi?

I am willing to bet that I do have that choice. The catch is that when ever I view something of the analog componants it says is in 1080i standard when I am watching a HiDef channel. when I am watching something on a standard def channel it says 480i standard. I only use the HDMI connection for my Blu-ray player and it says 1080p standard when watching movie. If I understand your question correctly I need to insure that when watching a blu-ray movie my tv is restricted to 1080p output.

Many people bash grain on BD's, but there is nothing wrong with grain. I prefer a movie with grain over a perfect grainless picture. Usually a movie shot on film will have more grain because a film shot with an HD camera needs the grain added in post production.

The picture on the 300 BD looks like a 1080p .mkv, that's why I think it is not a good reference title for people new to BD. Without grain 300 looks like a video game, but for my taste 25% of the grain actually added to the film during post production would have been sufficient.

Exactly my point.

300 was a great film, but heavily processed. It is a great reference movie how it was intended, but as a reference demo for a new comer to BD's, it may be lacking a lot for most people.

That is correct. You want to make sure that when that input is selected that is what it will display 1080p....
