Good depth of field and attention to detail. Excellent English Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround soundtracks. Excellent presentation on both tracks. 5.1 features strong stereo separation, including impressive front to rear spatial separation. Surround effects include perky music cues and directional dialogue.
Basses are adequate while high and middle ends purr.
No audible hiss or distortion. Good Closed captions in English for the hard of hearing. Good Bright, cheerful main and scene access menus. A chatty conversation with director Alexander Payne on an alternate audio track. The running commentary is enjoyable but not very deep.
