What I see with live action (not animated movies, which look AMAZING on blu-ray) is pretty consistent. People look like they are on a set, with lighting (and lots of it). It's like I'm in the studio watching it being filmed, in stead of watching film.

The first time I saw a blu-ray clip from one of the Spiderman movies I couldn't get over how NOT LIKE FILM it looked.

I'm not sure this can be attributed to 'bad tv setup at the store', but maybe. I doubt I'll know till I try a blu-ray at home. I doubt that will be for many years.

But is it consistantly on LCD TV's on display in stores? - grantv 14:08:40 05/29/09 (0)
As noted by others below, stores will pump things up to bring buyers in. If your consistant cartoon experience is only in stores and/or only with LCD's then I'll say what I said before; it's quite likely the setup (basically all stores do this) or the TV. I'm not saying BD maybe doesn't have some part at fault, but on a decent and properly set up (not a store trying to attract buyers) display you may feel otherwise.
I've always found LCD's to have cartoonish pictures. The higher Hz units to my eyes are even more so. Try a BD on a PJ, plasma or CRT and I think you MAY see things differently.
