So the 82 and 92 are pretty consistent, Jonno? White Ash scene?

More or less. Presenting the exciting saga of Ash's head:

Sounds like the name of an art film or a hipster band. That does show that the timing is slightly different every time Alien has been transferred making it all the more confusing. It also shows that at a minimum the BD is way too bright. You can see more detail in the back and on the wall then you can in any other transfer, even the 1999 DVD which is overall brighter then the BD. Your capture of the '95 is similar to mine, with the level of dark and the hue of the blue. Thanks Jonno

It's interesting to note that DVD (and even CAV LD) has a bit more image present on the sides, in comparison to BD (as D-Theater, by the way...)

It is interesting. If I did my math right, the '95 LD is about 2.52:1 so its showing information that would of been cut off by the film gate. Same with the '99 DVD: 2.52. The BD is about 2.33:1 so too much information removed. The D-VHS is the closest at 2.35 but in 1979 they had already moved from 2.35 to 2.39. Might be splitting hairs but the D-VHS has the truest aspect ratio assuming it was framed correctly. I would of used the D-VHS if not for it being the director's cut.
