    No matter what I buy to stay ahead of the curve, some new feature or technology is always right around the corner threatening to make my equipment obsolete. It's been that way since my first VCR purchase in 1981 and will most likely continue ad infinitum. I try to just enjoy what I have now...

    Mr. Harris says (and I agree) that the contrast has been improved, but I've never seen a completely black background during the main titles. It's more of a charcoal gray effect as the backgrounds behind the various statues are of dimly lit walls or tablets engraved with Roman text and numerals...

    I believe it's the same as the 2015 remaster. Looks the same to me anyway.
