In my opinion, the DVD's, while still being non-anamphorically enchanced, are much better than the laserdisc's image, especially on a large widescreen DVD. It also depends on the quality of your laserdisc player. I use a Pioneer HLD-X9, which is one of the best players ever made, and even using the X9, the DVD's are much better. Sound quality is another matter. The sound on the laserdiscs blows the DVD's out of the water. The lasers have full uncompressed PCM sound compared to the GOUTS 192kbps dolby surround. So for video quality, the DVD's win easily over the laserdiscs, even when using high end laserdisc players. For sound, the lasers far and away.
