Beyonce: I Am World Tour (Blu-ray) 2010 DTS-HD Master Audio

Beyoncé I Am. . .World Tour blasts onto Blu-ray with an AVC encoded 1080p image in Widescreen 1.78:1 Aspect Ratio. For the most part, this is as spectacular looking a Blu-ray as it is from a sonic perspective. The full 1080p presentation gives this an impressively filmic look, with excellent fine detail, contrast and some wonderfully saturated colors. This is a dazzlingly sharp and clear concert Blu-ray.Rovi Rating:  

Beyoncé I Am. . .World Tour sounds fabulous, with two lossless tracks, an LPCM 5.1 (48 kHz/24 bit) and LPCM 2.0 (48 kHz/24 bit), offered alongside a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track. (In the odd department, the disc defaults to the LPCM 2.0, and then the next choice is the Dolby track, so keep toggling to get to the uncompressed 5.1 track). The LPCM 5.1 track is astoundingly vibrant, with virtually palpable low frequencies which will set your floorboards a-rumbling. But the overall mix is what's most impressive here, with brilliant use of discrete channels to offer the midrange and Beyoncé's highs with absolute clarity and precision. This Blu-ray does have a bit more audience intrusion than some other concert Blu's that are out there, most likely due to the rapturous response Beyoncé seems to effortlessly command, so if that sort of thing bothers you, you may well want to go with the LPCM 2.0 stereo fold down, where the audience sounds are bit more narrow and not so overwhelming.
