I recently purchased PowerDVD 15 Ultra and I am quite happy with it. However, the TrueTheater enhancements are a huge disappointment--video and audio. My Titanic Blu-ray has muddy sound and the video is grainy to the point that it is unwatchable. I turned both enhancements off completely and found the quality to improve dramatically.

Is this normal? I expected phenomenal improvements from these enhancements, not a decline in video and audio quality. Perhaps a more informed user can help me in deciphering these features?

On another note, what are the best settings to use overall for PowerDVD in terms of Blu-ray playback? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Seems like you over did the TrueTheatre settings. For blu rays, if you set TrueTheatre HD to about 25% and TrueTheatre Lighting to 50%, the results are exceptional. Much sharper image. Looks like the resolution is increased from 1080p to 2K. I am very happy with the results.



Grain is normal for any blu ray, because movies are shot on film and film is grainy.



Just try the aforementioned settings and see if it looks any better.
