petetherock Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 I got the HD one, so I don't know about SD, why not check it out for yourself?

pschia Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Heroes is coming to HD5 in High Def in Nov 07 ! :)
petetherock Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 Got your set yet? I just ordered a set SD DVD, so my friends can share the fun. Seems the audio is a bit quiet, so SD DVD should suffice for most folks. Not a demo piece sure, will try to do that ;)

Seems the audio is a bit quiet, so SD DVD should suffice for most folks. Not a demo piece Yup, I've gotten my set. Thanks again for the discount code. Just finished the series the other night. The 1st episode is quite slow paced and boring as it is about introducing the character, but it gets better from the 2nd episode onwards. It is quite "captivating", like the other tv series "24", in that once you start, you can't stop! As for PQ and SQ wise, truth be told, I'm not any good at noticing the difference between contrast, noise etc, but the picture quality is indeed very sharp, and I'm only watching it on my 43" Pioneer plasma, which is not full HD. Anyway, I'm too engrossed in the film to notice the PQ and SQ too! haha.

petetherock Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 Could have sworn this thread was stickied for a day! Must be a mis-click ;)
petetherock Posted October 6, 2007 Author Posted October 6, 2007 Just begun watching this, good plot, tight editing, but as far as demo material is concerned, its not a demo set. The single mum is hot though and the cheer leader has flawless skin although she hardly looks 16 :)
jayson1624705825 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I only watch 4 episodes, very confused by the plot. R3 is releasing soon. will give it another try since you guys said that it is so good,. this time there will not any commercials and with english subtitles. ;D ;D
petetherock Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 Its a nice plot, but there is little surround effects etc, so I am glad I didn't get the HD version. Using the Toshiba to upscale the R1 discs was fine enough. One problem though is the inter-linking of the episodes. It means you can't just step into the series and hope to understand.
kzone Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I only watch 4 episodes, very confused by the plot. More like unpredictable... I'm at the 4th disc now.. Yupz, not much surround effects but its nice to see india in Hidef... Anyway, with engrossing storyline, many dark scenes and my display cant do black well, I dont think I gain too much with the HD version compared to other titles.. Pete, i thought u got the HD version? Changed ur order? Btw, the cheer leader is not so flawless in HD.. am quite distracted by the blemishes in her nose area... her lips looks irresistable though....
petetherock Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 I got a cheap set on offer for SD DVD, I see no need to buy something in HD when the emphasis is the plot. Had a friend over and the Pioneer + upscaling XA2 combo was sufficient to make him happy.
petetherock Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 Actually after watching 2 discs, its like a 24 series with mini X Men kind of mix.
redryder Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I just watched the 1st 2 episodes of Season 2. ;) Some not too spoilery info: Hiro's storyline continues in ancient japan, and watch out for a chio sword-maker's daughter. Molly is now living with the policeman and the indian professor Claire's storyline involves college If you want more spoilery stuff, can pm me. 8-)
kzone Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I just watched the 1st 2 episodes of Season 2. ;) Season 2 out already?? where to get?
redryder Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Now showing in US. I watched 2 episodes when I was there recently.
petetherock Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 For those slightly lost, the season revolves around establishing the main characters, their powers and each story continues onto the next. "save the cheerleader, save the world" is the main stem story I won't spoil it for you, but even my dad who does not do English serials much is hooked
