Thanks for sharing Elmazalman. I know it's pretty geeky but I love analyzing the differences with these transfers.

It's subtle. Look at the right and left edges of the frames.

Ah yes, I see it now.

I just had the Legacy dvd up on my projector last night (84" image) and it still looks great compared to the blu-ray, so I might watch that one more often!

Although the 2003 DVD has improved resolution, I prefer the 1999 release. It has better colours and isn't as contrast boosted as the 2003 DVD.

The 1999 DVD does show more image.

I got rid of my Legacy set when the Quadrilogy came out. I really need to get around to rebuying that.

The 20th anniversary DVD is still one of my favourite home releases. One of the best uses of interactive DVD menus.

Having a close look at the main menu screen (when it first starts up), I spotted what looks like a subliminal image, of one of the guy's responsible for the production of the 20th Anniversary DVD (also the ALIEN / ALIENS Laserdisc boxed sets from the early 1990s).

It looks like a subliminal cameo. It's a flash frame of someone with a beard ... you'll have to be quick to spot it.

So, uh, this happened with the 'True Lies' 4K

Likewise. Stupid decision by me.

My former neighbour was an avid VHS collector/resellor. He once invited me over and said take a few of whatever I wanted. Found the old Alien Saga VHS boxset just sitting there. Thank you very much.

I think my brother has the original VHS release of Alien in his collection.
