HI...I do have a HDTV panasonic 36" set and a dvd progressive scan dvd player with the faroudja chip (High quality processor). I decided to answer my own curiousity regarding this issue of whether Superbit really is a big or non detectable difference. I wanted to know if I could sincerely justify spending the extra bucks myself. So I happen to have both editions of hollowman, A superbit edition and the regular DVD of it. In my test...I ran them to the exact chapter and page when they were in the transforamation lab and were doing a close up Kevin Bacons face and then froze an went frame by frame flipping back and forth from one DVD to the other...what I saw as far as digital...the complexion of the skin was a huge difference. In the regular DVD, the skin was kind of muddy and could not see the pores in those sequences etc., In the superbit DVD, the skin was not muddy but very clear and I could see skin texture and pores....really quite amazing. To me, it was quite clear that the Superbit was far superior if you really looked closely, but I am sure watching superbit and not having something at the second to compare it to..it is something we take for granted. I really don't need to go into the superiority of the DTS sound, because that is a given, but for those who were not quite sure about the picture..well, if you wanted to take a guys opinion who spent that silly time to actually find out, here you go. I heartily recommend Superbit and I now prefer to buy Superbit if the choice is there in buying a DVD that I want for my personal library.
