I don't mind grain so I thought it looked fine and this is a definate step up from the DVD. On a side note curiosity got the better of me and I did use the angle feature in certain places to check out the colorized version. Meh, I definately prefer the original B&W.

Sony just announced similar DVD B&W/Colorized re-issues for Earth vs. the Flying Saucers and It Came From Beneath the Sea so hopefully we'll get these on BD soon.
