I've found some HD clips of the 3D BD on youtube; the colors, indeed, are better than what I thought at the beginning... watching a clip instead of screenshots revelals more things.

So, I downloaded two clips (T-rex and Gallimimus) and compared them with my PAL laserdiscs, just for fun.

Here you are my conclusions:

  • laserdisc is less cropped than 3D BD
  • obviously laserdisc has less resolution, but it is not that bad - it seems that the 3D BD has less resolution than what could be achieved by a BD, but it could be due only the youtube compression
  • 3D BD is darker in comparison
  • in the T-rex scenes, a lot more things could be discernable in the dark in the laserdisc, while the 3D BD seems to have more natural skin colors
  • in the Gallimimus scene, the grass and the sky in the laserdisc have "pumped" colors, but in the 3D BD the clouds are pinkish...
  • ...and the 3D BD CUT MORE THAN SIX SECONDS the scene where the T-rex tears apart flesh from a gallimimus...

 

I was not aware that the 3D BD has scenes that were cut... I mean, six seconds are A LOT in a single scene, guess how many other scenes are cut, and how much time is "lost" in total...

My PAL DVD is not cut; what about the 2011 BD?
