This trilogy has to be one of the best NTSC sourced transfers I've seen to date, despite some issues with the hue, colour bleeding & compression artefacts, the image clarity and brightness/contrast is very good, what's more this has to be the first laserdisc transfer that doesn't exhibit any of the temporal smoothing that plagues all the other widescreen SW laserdiscs (French, German, Definitive, Faces) I've seen. Nor does it appear to have the interlacing jaggies problem the Definitive and Faces collectiion has where some detail is completely lost through removal of lines.
What do I mean?
No temporal smoothing, the Cantina, look at the edge of the right creature's head:

I'd love to get my hands on the laserdiscs used for this Dark/Sega set one day, this is the video they should have put on the Definitive Collection!
