why bother to use BD and change its colors, if it has crushed blacks and clipped whites? If I'll do a [spoRv] project, I'll use the HDTV video - as dvdmike, I prefer it to BD! And it will be with LD audio soundtrack(s), of course...

I see what you mean about the blacks and whites in that particular shot but I don't think the BD should be so quickly dismissed as a source due to extra amount of fine detail over the HDTV version. Take a look at the hairs on Hicks' arm; that couldn't be replicated by simply adding a layer of fake grain.

To me the difference looks as great as the original Terminator BD vs. the remaster which (teal argument aside) everyone pretty much agrees is a far superior transfer.
