If anyone is interested in BD/UHD screenshot comparison, this guy does them, which I appreciate, helps me decide on my own.



Even though he praises the new transfer, I don't like it. Very softened, like an out of focus projection, or a DVD upscale. Like the detail and coloring on the old BD as well. Another big disappointment. :sick:
I am still to see a so called '4k' disc that I like better, than BD. I did like the Scream Factory Halloween transfer more, but it was compared to another 4k, Lionsgate transfer, which was probably just butchered, and in a new Scream Factory BD vs Scream Factory UHD comparison there would most likely be no difference...
I wonder why I even bother rebuying most of the popular franchises in 4k... if only for new special packaging, like those cardboard-paged digibooks.

Those shots don't do neither the Blu-ray or 4K justice.
The difference is massive vs the original Blu-ray.
I watched the whole series this week, starting with Scream 4k.
Scream 2 Blu-ray was terrible in comparison. Scream 3 was as good as an early Blu-ray release but nothing to write home about.
And Scream 4 was...well it's got that bloom filter so...I guess it was okay
But Scream 1996 has always had bad transfers.
it's now the best looking one, until they release Scream 2/3/4 on 4k
It's a good transfer
