Its very title dependent

This is true with both formats. There is alot of mediocre titles, even recent ones. IMO, the majority are good, but not fantastic, by HD standards. Examples? BD- Perfet Stranger and Premonition. OK, but nothing fantastic. Die Hard 4 is good, but didn't make me go wow. It also had some banding. HD DVD- Tremors. It was good but has some edge enhancement. Next was mediocre. Dreck 3 was good (its kind of hard to do bad PQ for animation)but I expected better. I could go on, but you get the point.
While I do have a few real standouts in both formats, they are the minority of discs. That said, even mediocre HD is still much better than DVD.
