Lately, I've been experimenting with its Audyssey Dynamic EQ + Dynamic Volume options. It takes some getting used to (I had to lower my typical movie volume of -10 dB or -14 dB to -32 dB for most movies) but the results are usually favorable with a lot of movies (and even most TV programming once you fine tune the settings). Overall, I'm extremely happy with it. It also runs much cooler than my old TX-SR705. Keep in mind that if you want to use Neo:X 11.2, you'll need an external amplifier as the receiver can only power a 9.2 setup on its own. Finally saw Dredd as well. Damn entertaining, and in all the right ways, not the Stallone way. Watched it in 2D though, I'll be watching it in the mancave again tonight - in 3D that is. |

I haven't seen the film yet, but with all the positive reviews, it will be a blind buy for me

Awesome, thanks for your thoughts on it. I think this may be a pickup for me in the next month or two.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
I bought it today using a reward zone certificate.
I have no backbone. |
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Anyone have any problem with their player reading this disc? My Toshiba BDX2000 wouldn't read it at all. I'm chalking it up to it being old, no longer supported by Toshiba and having had issues a while back with most Lionsgate discs.
Just wanted to make sure though, no one else had a similar issue. |
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Took just a bit longer than usual to load, but other than that, no issues with playback on my Sony player.
|
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
No problems here on the Oppo BDP-83. Long load times though as others have seen.
Had no problems with the PQ - I saw a few shots with a kind of weird bluish static-y type of look but the whole movie is stylized so it didn't really bother me. |
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Have a PS3 and there were no problems during loading. Loaded up pretty quickly.
|
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Thanks.
Out of curiosity, what is a long load time for you guys? For me Disney and Lionsgate stuff is the worst; some Disney BDs have taken 3 mins or more to load to a point that I can get to a menu. |
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Lionsgate is technically the slowest. By seconds, though, which is cool, because Lionsgate discs tend to have updates and they actually install themselves automatically as opposed to having the system do it.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
My PS3 wont play my disc. Taking it back to BB tom.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
The movie is good but there are way too many trailers to have to skip through. We watched around 4 and finally skipped through a couple more.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Its takes a some time to load on my non 3D samsung player, but no problems. The one that takes the longest is the Star Wars Blurays.
|
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Yeah, I returned my copy to BBY; it was defective. New copy boots up in 20 secs on my new Blu-Ray player and about 3 minutes on my old one.
|
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
The copy I rented loaded quickly enough in my LG.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Sad to see that the 2D on this film wasn't as cared for as the 3D one. Some shots will clean and/or gritty while others are just murky and unvalued in image. Otherwise...I still love the film. Cool features. Really wish we got a commentary from Garland, Travis, and/or Karl Urban.

What? The video on the 2D looks great, imo.

Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
Just got back from Best Buy to pick this up and they're all gone. None in-stock at any other Best Buy stores in the area. Has this been recalled?? :(
|
Re: Dredd 3D -- 1/08/13
With the issues many are having (both here and in other forums), I feel real lucky my copy gave me zero problems.
