Well here's a good way to end the discussion, or create more.... ha
So if you have your own personal preference of transfer, then that is absolutely just and fine.
However, when stating which is just simply better .... I look at it like this ....
If this was YOUR FILM, YOU WERE THE GUY/GAL WHO HAD THEIR EYE BEHIND THE CAMERA AND WANTED IT TO LOOK LIKE SUCH IN POST PRODUCTION .... then who is anyone to argue or debate what is better then you as its YOUR FILM, YOUR VISION.
That said, Synapse worked directly with the Director of cinematography to make sure it looked the way he wanted it to look. (they would work on scenes, send back and he would approve or request changes) How he always envisioned it with Argento all those years ago. And it wasn't simply taking a scan and having resolution bumped up. It was worked on for years, and then more work was done in a warner brothers lot post production studio. (ie. super expensive equipment, and super talented engineers) So if that's what the Directors wanted it to look like at this newest stage of technology then who am I to argue. This is the definitive version (video transfer wise) Now if your own eyes prefer a different one, than hey, that's your own choice. But I cant argue the art with the artist.
