Anyone know why in some scenes of some Blu ray movies, the picture is grainy? It's kind of frustrating, since that's one of the main selling points of Blu rays (picture quality). I'm not talking about low budget movies either. As a matter of fact, it seems to only happen on big fancy blockbuster movies, and only in certain scenes.  |

Yep, I asked the same question a few months ago.... http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1492476_How_come_some_Blue_Ray_movies_look_grainy_.html |

And will choke myself now. Thanks  ETA: I just looked through the thread you started. Seems like the answers didn't really cover the fact that it's only certain scenes that are that way. Unless I missed something, the replies were suggesting that the whole movie would have/not have the grain for various reasons. |

Try the disk in another unti, you could even take it into Wally World and ask to try it in one of their machines....
Disk replication at sorce (manufacturer) may play a part, but my bet is on "upscaling"... mate of mine is experiencing something similar with old movies and classics brought out on BluRay... |
| Also look at your TV's display settings. Sharpness adds an artificial line between contrasting colors to make them stand out more. Certain scenes with a lot of information can really bring the this out too much and look bad. Purists make sure the sharpness setting on the TV is set to the lowest level. |
