With good reason. Half height over/under 3D amplifies the grain just like Techniscope. 4K was kind of pointless for this one.My replacement disc arrived today and the flesh tones now look normal. Probably the grainiest 4K UHD released to date - Robert Harris is going to need his smelling salts, if he sits closer to the screen than about 50 feet
I've just ordered 10 extra pairs of 3D anaglyph glasses to supplement the two which came with the set, so that I can share the joy with my pals! It'll be a great double-bill. First: Severin's 4K UHD of Blood For Dracula (which I think is the better film and has a lovely picture) and Vinegar Syndrome's Flesh For Frankenstein as the midnight movie in retro-3D (the 3D disc is not a 4K UHD)!With good reason.

Did you order the extra pairs of anaglyph glasses from VS?I've just ordered 10 extra pairs of 3D anaglyph glasses to supplement the two which came with the set, so that I can share the joy with my pals!

No - just some El Cheapo ones from a local web site:Did you order the extra pairs of anaglyph glasses from VS?
Thanks for the link. Fruugo has a Canadian site, and the price is reasonable.No - just some El Cheapo ones from a local web site:

But you've purchased Flesh For Frankenstein to savour with the digital 3D option on your plasma sets, right?I feel sorry for any out there that have to settle for anaglyph 3D. I still have 2 Panny 3D plasma sets, and more 3D projectors that I care to admit to. But it's a shame that the 3D feature on 4K TVs has been ignored by the industry. I keep writing letters to them, probably for naught. But at least I can vent my frustrations in that way.
Correct. But I watch on my projector.But you've purchased Flesh For Frankenstein to savour with the digital 3D option on your plasma sets, right?
Wasn't the joke at the time about President Nixon, "That he had to see it 3 times before he could get it down Pat!"
