But that would not take into account the Blu-rays that look absolutely perfect, like The Ten Commandments. If a display were not properly calibrated or outputting some weird color balance, then all Blu-rays would look off, and one look at The Ten Commandments, a perfectly rendered color title, will tell you otherwise, at least on my set-up.MichaelEl said:DVDs of older films often had an overall yellow tint - e.g., JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. While I'm no expert on film, I tend to think this extra layer of yellow was used in order to boost contrast and impose the 6500K color standard on poor quality film elements. (At 6500 K, whites should look yellowish.) Many Blu-Rays of older films, on the other hand, seem to have an overall primary color tint - red, green, or blue - in comparison. This is probably the case with CAMELOT, although I haven't yet seen seen the disc. It's possible this tinting is occurring due to the light sources that are used on newer HD scanning equipment, but that is pure speculation on my part. One factor to consider though is that the white balance on many HD screens is not very good. More often than not, the default (standard) color temperature setting on an LCD is too green or blue. This is especially true for LCDs with LED backlighting. It's possible then that the color problems some people are seeing with CAMELOT have more to do with display calibration than any deficiencies in the transfer.
