sanjay are you accessing the site on a laptop? (btw, i saw this in Gurgaon DT Cinemas, I think close to your home if I remember correctly?)
My monitor is a Dell Ultravision 24" LCD with 1920 x 1200 resolution. The monitor may not be the best there is, but it is certainly considered one of the better one's. As for DT Cinemas, the less said the better. They are definately one of the worst multiplex theaters. Their sound is always horrible and the picture too at times is below average for a good multiplex. I personally saw the film at PVR Cinemas in the Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. Normally I do not have a very high opinion of PVR or for that matter most multiplexes in India, but my experience with 'Rock On' was as good as it gets. The picture was outstanding and the sound too, specially with the excellent sound engineering in the film, was very good and for once I thoroughly enjoyed watching the film in a theater. Alas, just a week later I saw 'A Wednesday at the same PVR Cinemas, albeit a different screen, and my experience was totally the opposite. The picture quality was as if I were watching a poor quality Indian DVD, my comment to my wife was, this looks like a pirated print, if such a thing could exist. The sound quality too was only marginally better than the picture quality. Thus, even though the film itself was quite good, the overall experience, which I think is the norm for most multiplexes, was rather poor. While on the topic of multiplex cinemas and movie watching in the theaters, I'd like to add that my experience even in US theaters was not very good. This past summer I was in the US for a month and I watched five films in five different theaters in three different states and not a single one of the experiences was good. The surround sound was almost non-existant on all five occassions, this was specially dissapointing considering that four of these films were the big budget summer extravaganzas, such as, Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones, Wall-E & Hancock.
PS: You are right about DT Cinemas being close to where i live. Actually there are two DT Cinemas in Gurgaon, both being about 10 - 15 minutes drive for me. AS a rule I never ever watch films at either of the DT Cinemas. PVR Cinema at Ambience Mall and at Sahar Mall are the only two multilexes I am willing to risk my film viewing at.
