Well, I can't answer for "always", but just the Faces LD. The DVD does appear to be more blue, however, the DVD also has a lot more stars. When the LD pans left (or is the word "scans"?) I see more stars and they appear blue. When they aren't moving they appear whiter, but I can barely see them at all. It's almost like a grey/blue.. hard to tell what color they really are. Switching back and forth between the versions I can say that the DVD makes the LD look like VHS in comparison. It is like a white blurry fog has been lifted from the images.

IMHO the DVD is spectactular. All I wanted was a backup of my Laserdiscs.. LD quality. Well they are even better than that.. I'm absolutely thrilled.
