Video: In order to test the Netflix SuperHD streaming I wanted to pick an older movie that I have seen countless of times on Cable TV in High Definition. A movie that looks pretty bad on Hi-def cable is Beverly Hills Cop. Full of video noise, banding, and video grain. Beverly Hills Cop is a true classic and there is only one way to watch it. Uncensored! Cable TV censored version really doesn't do justice to this timeless classic. I am happy to report that the Superhd video streaming surpassed all my expectations. Video grain was minimal with virtually no video banding compared to the cable TV broadcasts which are full of video banding and grain. The video was crisp at times but soft during some of the other scenes but the video artifacts normally found on cable TV broadcasts were non existent.
Audio: The Dolby Digital Plus - 5.1 track is also fun to listen to. The Axel F theme is definitely a classic theme. The audio obviously was front heavy but that was expected. In my opinion the Dolby Digital Plus track was clean and did not suffer from the compression that cable broadcasts suffer from. If you just want to watch a light funny movie Beverly Hills Cop is a good pick. They certainly don't make 'em like they used to.
I like your post. This will help me to evaluate on the things that i need to check before buying it. I read also some tips in Alphonso Soosay and it sounds good. Thanks for your post.
