 "The UE is on all DVD releases, and has correct contrast mostly, but with revisionist color timing that ruins some sequences. TSWLM BD is an all new non-Lowry master. But the color is not fully correct either. No original audio too."

Thank you for the information... that's great to know.  I think I'll go ahead and pick up the UE of OHMSS just so I have a clean copy without so much contrast boosting... I like the Blu-ray but it's a little too bright.  The SE DVD has the shadows and sunsets just the way I like them, not to mention the great colors.  OHMSS is my favorite Bond film and I bought those SE box sets back when they came out so I'm used to that version.  A couple of years ago, the film aired in HD on the Universal HD Channel in the U.S.  It was cropped to 1.85:1 to fill a 16x9 display but it looked really good.  I imagine it was pretty close to the UE specs as it was super clean but not blown out.  The detail was rather amazing.
