No worries Mark. Much obliged for all your contributions.

Thank you. Chris

Excuse me. My comparison was posted in the iTunes thread, where I follow your very useful information faithfully. from that thread: Rather than reposting my amateur comparison, I thought the best answer to Oliver's inquiry can be found in RAH's expert opinion - the first post of this...

From all evidence, the 4K digital version is the same master as the new disc. Based upon the very different colours between the new and previous masters, this seems to be a solid conclusion. The previous iTunes HD stream appears identical to the 2012 disc. I have directly compared the new HD...

I direct you to the first post of this thread, where our gracious resident expert has chimed in. Following his discussion should provide you with many answers to your questions.

If only the new iTunes version were untouched. Alas

iTunes users can currently buy the good version on iTunes. If you do, download it to your hard drive before they "upgrade" it.

Wise choice. Better grab that disc while it's still around. I'm waiting for reports on which version iTunes has up. If it's the previous version, let's hope they don't "upgrade" it. That's the tails side of the iTunes coin. Most of the time it comes up heads, and you get a superior updated...

Great to hear. Do you think it’s the newest transfer or the previous?

That’s a good idea. Thanks. I never thought of that. I have compared the new UHD, the new Blu-ray, and both the new iTunes 4K versions – HDR, and SDR. Of those, my preference is definitely the Blu-ray. I'm with RAH (and the other disappointeds) on this one. None of the 4K versions look right to...

Thanks. I've owned the 2012 disc since it's release. My comment about iTunes was a blanket wish for their customers. They should always offer the best version available. I fear that as this is a new 4K transfer being promoted by Paramount, they may update it under the mistaken idea that this new...

Full disclosure: I own the 2012, and haven't seen the 2020. I‘ll accept RAH’s evaluation that this new release is a step down (overall) from the 2012. As such I‘m glad iTunes has retained the “better” version. Let’s hope that lasts, for the sake of iTunes customers. One wants the best version...

Just checked. Also showing on iTunes in HD, although without viewing we can't really be sure if it's an HD transfer or merely upscaled.

It was also on The Criterion Channel from February - April. Gone now, so I'll bet it just went up on Amazon May 1
