Audio Quality DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (English). This is a robust, active mix. Dialogue is locked to the center channel, but the surrounds get constant use: cutaway gags pan across channels, Seth MacFarlane’s musical numbers have full stereo spread, and action scenes (e.g., Peter vs. Ernie the Chicken) have aggressive LFE (subwoofer) thumps. Dynamic range is excellent – quiet dinner scenes vs. random explosion gags are well separated. No compression or clipping.
Family Guy – Season 20 on BD50 is a reference-quality presentation of a below-average-to-average season. If you buy physical media for pristine animation and lossless audio, it’s worth $20-25. If you buy for content, wait for a deep sale. family guy season 20 bd50
Video Quality (BD50) This is where the BD50 shines. Unlike DVD or streaming, the AVC-encoded 1080p transfer at a high bitrate (averaging 25-30 Mbps) is pristine. Line art is razor-sharp with zero aliasing. Colors (Lois’s red hair, Peter’s white shirt) are bold and free of compression artifacts. The BD50’s larger capacity means the entire season fits on one disc without excessive compression – no macroblocking in flat backgrounds or fast motion. Black levels are perfect. It looks exactly like a digitally-produced HD show should: flawless. Audio Quality DTS-HD Master Audio 5
