On a television that is properly set up and as small as 27", you will notice that the colors are a bit (HA HA) more vibrant and the picture seems to have a bit (not again) more resolution (it looks cleaner and better defined). These aspects are not night and day on a television of this size, but you will notice them. If you have a larger television or monitor, you will notice the improvement even more. I believe the best thing about the SuperBit DVDs is the fact that you get a DTS soundtrack. It would have been nice to get full bitrate DTS, but maybe future discs might step up to this level. I agree 100% with your statement about buying multiple for movies you really like. We should be given the best without two or three purchases. And, let's get rid of the multiple language and multiple soundtrack features (delete Dolby Surround as DVD players MUST decode Dolby Digital as one of their operating parameters -- what repetition). Here's a link to DVDEmpire's Superbit page. If the prices are too high, you need a better job...

IMHO, they're releasing them slowly to see if there's enough interest. (nt) - AuPh 08:11:36 02/16/02 (2)

there would be some interest if they released a movie I really wanted to see...nt.. - late 18:39:08 02/16/02 (1)
