Carl, with all due respect to the HD Room, I have seen these discs, and I can see grain in many shots. So the statement that the films have been scrubbed clean of any grain is simply inaccurate. There absolutely is grain visible, and it's not a problem. It's variable, depending on the amount of compositing and VFX work in the given shot. For example, in BTTF 1, the scene of Marty saying goodbye to George and Lorraine at the end of the dance has quite visible grain - simply due to the fact that this was not a VFX scene - it was just a scene of the actors on set playing a scene. The same thing applies to the scene of Marty seeing George and Lorraine walk into the dance after punching out Biff. On the other hand, in BTTF 3, many shots of the train sequence at the end, such as Doc on the front of the locomotive, had a lot of compositing done to them, so the picture quality is a bit softer. But other shots in that sequence, for example of the DeLorean on the tracks running in front of the locomotive, are quite detailed and you can make out the fine parts of the grill.
