Sambo90 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I haven't seen many movies on TEN HD, but this just looks great. Picture looks so smooth and great detail. Take off the TEN HD "WHITEMARK" and you have got a very nice presentation.
LBM Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I was going to watch this until I remembered the "water"mark. I guess I will hire it sometime instead.
anthonysimilion Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I guess I will hire it sometime instead. In HD?
Eth Nick Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I was going to watch this until I remembered the "water"mark. I guess I will hire it sometime instead. Oh cmon. The watermark's not your reason for snubbing it, is it? It looks ok, for an old-ish movie. & it provided my first real shock from the other end of the house thanks to it's quality audio track - I heard some glass smashing & thought something had fallen over in the house, luckily, it was just a sound effect from the movie. Perfect Storm on Nine also sounds great, & probably looks a little better if anything. Sambo90, If you love the quality of In The Line Of Fire, then you're going to love how HD TV performs at its best, like it did with movies such as Terminator 3 & Tears Of The Sun.
Guest mogadore Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I was going to watch this until I remembered the "water"mark. I guess I will hire it sometime instead. Whats the problem with the watermark?
abdelrm Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The watermark in question is the problem, before ten put in a new playout system HD Native programs were watermarkless. but the new playout system downconverts everything from the HD channel to SD to analogue so no more seperate systems just one.

Does that effect the PQ at all?
anthonysimilion Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Does that effect the PQ at all? One could argue that having a watermark does make the encoders' job more difficult. I think the fact that the watermark is so large, and visible (very bright and not in the bottom right hand corner - it's supposed to be a watermark, after all) had a negative impact on the viewing experience.
betty boop Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 not sure who has come up with this eyesore. not sure what ten is thinking. here we are should be praising there efforts for putting a movie up in hi-def yet their bright glowing watermark has got our attention instead. what a pity. anyways some good veiwing tonight.
Guest JimboTHX1138 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I'm watching it waiting for Smallville, but yeah it looks pretty good for how old it is, except for that damn logo.
Felix.. Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Yeah screw this. I just can't be bothered watching it if TEN are going to desecrate the picture like this, with such a stupendously imposing and objectionable shytemark. I'll wait for it to show up on Blu-ray thanks.
Sambo90 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 Glad that we all have the same opinions on the watermark. It's almost impossible not to see it out the corner of your eye, NINE HD and SEVEN HD don't have this problem with me.

Well SC10 didnt even show this movie in HD - they also dont have watermarks on their HD channel (or commercials for that matter), but what is the point of a HD channel when it is not even showing HD programs from the capital cities (firstly no AFL game, then no movie)

LBM Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 In HD? I would rather see in in SD without a watermark... Yes. I said it. SD >> Ten HD with watermark. Oh cmon. The watermark's not your reason for snubbing it, is it? It isn't just this show, I have removed Ten on all my equipment. The only TV with it is the common one and others don't seem to watch that either.
