I agree entirely with all the previous recommendations. However, if you just want demo material on blu-ray, as opposed to a movie, try Diana Krall live in Rio. Simply stunning picture and sound that will test the dynamic resolution powers of your projector to the max.

"For music, the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds live at Radio City Music Hall is outstanding in terms of picture and sound quality."

Agreed.

And see:

Iron Man - first flight scene
Casino Royal - the poker game scene
Blade Runner Ultimate Collectors edition
There Will be Blood - the oil explosion scene
Ratatouille
3:10 to Yuma - final scenes

Also see these favorite DVD demos upgraded to Bluray:

House of Flying Daggers - echo dance scene
Pearl Harbor - attack scene

Oh yes Blade Runner is a cinematographic wonder. Absolutely stunning in BD. This is the best I have seen on BD so far. I found Master & Commander to be grainy in spots (low lighting). In contrast Blade Runner is excellent colour definition and detail in very dark lighting - a moody artistic film. This film is a masterpiece and established Ridley Scott artistically even though it was not a box office success. Far superior artistically to his incredibly successful Alien.

Did not know you can make a movie like Blade Runner to look that good and sound good today. It's really an old movie. If I can remember, isn't Blade Runner is movie with a lot of talking and not so much action? I don't remember there's a lot of action scenes in Blade Runner.

I bought the movie Quantum of Solace (James Bond) and it sounded pretty intense in DTS-HD Master Audio. So far, I like DTS-HD Master Audio sound format. I have not heard Dolby TrueHD yet and I heard it suppose to sound just as good. There is another sound format called PCM 5.1 and that suppse to sound good as well.

Is there much of a difference in:

- DTS-HD Master Audio

- Dolby TrueHD

- PCM 5.1

Which do you prefer is the BEST sound of the 3 listed above?

Maybe I will start a new thread about these 3 sound formats.
