Hello all. I by no means have reference LD playback but I do prefer the LD of Episode I over the DVD. First of all, I like the contrast and the color moreso on the Laserdisc. Even though I'm using an average CLD-D406, I still think the picture on the laserdisc looks more like film. The DVD looks tremendous but it doesn't look like film to me as much as the laserdisc does. The main reason I got the DVD was for the supplements. Whenever I watch the film, it's the laserdisc I am watching. As for someone mentioning Braveheart, it's a tough call. I like the audio on both DVD and LD, but the picture is kinda split. On one hand the LD has better color to me, but lacks the contrast and noise free look of the DVD. Overall, I enjoy having both for my viewing pleasure.
