Well, I watched the Blu V2 teaser a couple times now. I realize I'm likely in the minority thinking this, but I find the image overly grainy/noisy. Compared with the V3 DVD, the picture actually looks less clear in the Blu version. I know an attempt was made to preserve as much detail as possible, and that no one is a fan of waxy-looking surfaces as a result of too much denoising, but I feel the picture quality could benefit from a little 'cleaning up' or 'smoothing out'. It feels at times that I'm watching the movie through a filter (if that makes any sense).

My apologies for sounding critical. I've been following this project for a long time and am very appreciative of the tremendous effort that has gone into this preservation. I just wanted to know if the image quality of the teaser will be reflective of the final product and, if so, if the level of grain/noise (sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology here) is likely to remain as is.

Just wanted to know what DJ's and You_Too's -- and others' -- thoughts were on this issue.
