  ...between components. They look great on almost any digital display through most DVD players. Now...if I want to wow the neighbors with the HDTV, I do pull out the Pixar magic discs like Toy Story 2, Mosters, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles.

  I use a mixture of color & B&W film-based material when auditioning gear - Master & Commander, Restoration, Fifth Element(crapy movie, great super-bit transfer), Third Man, Beauty & The Beast (Cocteau not Disney) and my special black levels/shadow detail torture test...Dark City.

    They do look very good, but if you pause a scene and look carefully any color bleed or imbalance, or contrast problems, or aliasing will leap out at you. The etch-a-sketch in Toy Story is a perfect example, if you look closely at a scene when it's moving you'll see if any decoder in your video chain has the chroma bug pretty quick.

    Great movie, great transfer. I'm hoping for a really nice cleanup of Blade Runner sometime soon for the same purposes.
