Regarding the problem of "ghosting"...... I have yet to see a 3-D film in theaters that does NOT have "ghosting" in it. I don't think this TV ghosting is Samsung's fault. It is a fault of this stupid 3-D system in general. I was around in 1953-54 for the B'WANA DEVIL to KISS ME KATE 3-D rage...

Thanks Erik....I think I will try that.....last resort :-). I've had the set for four years and it has always been VERY lovely. Never had a problem until this release....and the Oz release. I DO think that SOME (not all) of it has to do with inherent differences between Bluray and SD. They will...

Paul....many thanks for your comments. Yes, I did do that. As I said, eventually it turned into an astonishing image.....BUT......it still has too much copper tone for my taste. Interestingly, in the supplements they have a variety of trailers from 1939 onward. We see the same scenes over and...

No....I have only used the usual calibration discs myself on my last two sets....and found them to be basically useless in the long run because I ALWAYS seem to encounter discs - and TV shows - that need adjustments. I have a 73 inch Mitsubishi DLP. It gives FANTASTIC images when all the...

This is a bit of a mea culpa....but only a bit of one! After two days of going nuts trying to achieve SOME kind of acceptable image from the GWTW disc I FINALLY did find a combination of settings that worked....and with that.....Mr. Harris is absolutely right. It is truly ASTONISHING! It is...

Yes....I DO understand the quirkiness of memory...no question. And I know that there is NO "correct" print of ANY of those films from that era because they DID vary from reel to reel. Sometimes, in a subrun house we would get reels that varied ENORMOUSLY in the color timing. It was the ONE thing...

I seem to be a bit of a wet blanket at times upon viewing restorations of films of my youth 75 years ago! Mr. Harris is absolutely correct that audiences today do not know what a particular film looked like upon its release those long years ago and will likely find most of these recent...

My Mom was there at the beginning....she was almost 50 at the first GWTW release....she saw ALL the releases....and until 1967's roadshow complained BITTERLY that the colors, after her first viewing in January of 1940, just were NOT right. Ultimately the question of WHAT is the correct color...

You NAILED it on the WIZARD OF OZ.....it is GLORIOUS....and I have also seen IT in its various incarnations since its FIRST showing....(My brother took me to it...my first film)....and it looks INFINITELY better today on the latest DVD than ever before. Your comments about laserdiscs....(and I...

I've been following this thread with amusement. I will bet that Richard is NOT over 60 or 70. I AM! Richard, unless you are my age (72) or older....you cannot POSSIBLY understand the GLORIES of Technicolor 3-strip as well as its ACHILLES HEEL. Even at 72 I am too young to have been...
