This is a doosy. This
older Live Entertainment version of "On Golden Pond" is much
superior to its newer Special Edition counterpart in the image
department. The Live Entertainment version has wonderful film
grain and the colors on the SE version seem to be bleeding as well as
dull and washed out. What gives ?.
FROM Enrique:
On a 32" TV with 16x9
turned off on the DVD player, the old Live looks clearer, but are
still getting more picture info on the left & right with the new DVD.
