Why am I saying all this? Why all the trouble? Some people question screenshots, so the least they can do is to see it for themselves. But do it right: a fair apples to apples and oranges to oranges comparison. And if they do a fair comparison and still don´t see the difference, then it´s fine...

I usually avoid posting because as a non-native English speaker I have difficulties expressing properly and engaging in a discussion is a PITA. But here we go. The disc screenshots are all mine except for the first one. The screenshots from the web-dl are from the internet. Unfortunately I...

I´m the guy who posted the comparison between the disc and the streaming version, somewhere else. Here it is: https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/3919 https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/3873 https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/3874...

Thank you. :)

Arrow is a big improvement over TT. The TT image has been sharpened. Not the kind of unsharp masking which was heavily used with DVDs, and created -among other things - unpleasant halos by sharpening the edges of objects. This kind of USM is easily recognizable and obvious. There is another...

The BD is very good considering that it was released in 2007. I scanned several 70mm frames at 8K some time ago and there´s indeed room for improvement.

A very helpul post, it has factual information and common sense. I couldn´t agree more.

Sharp eyes? Watching a video at a distance of 18 inches from a 24” computer monitor? A monitor which I usually use to edit images ( light DNR among other filters) in Photoshop? If I didn’t see the DNR, then using monitors for photo-editing would be worthless, and then I´d have to connect the...

I see the same DNR on my 120" screen and my 24" monitor.

Well, I´ll claim it: it´s over-processed and over-scrubbed, and it doesn´t look like film. Certeainly not Patton, but after releasing something like The Sound of Music, I find it an outrage. And it´s in no way related to the ultraresolution process.

I agree, the problem is the movement, not the screen caps: if done properly, they look exactly as if we were pressing "Pause", I´ve done comparisons so many times. Its just that we can´t be sure about the content of the entire BD by checking 1/24 th fraction of a second. Anyway, I still think...

After reading Mr. Harris´s words, I´ve checked the screencaps at blu-ray.com and I can only stare at them in disbelief. Mr. Harris, I respect your opinions very much and my eyes have always agreed with your "A few words about", but do you really think this blu-ray is that terrible? I have no...

Let´s hope they release it on blu-ray.

I love that change in aspect ratio (especially on a big 2.35 screen), also found in Superman and Around the world in 80 days.

Great article. Haya Harareet...whatever happened to her? I know she married Jack Clayton, but then she suddenly vanished and was never seen again (on the screen).
