Yes, there is less detail. However, when seen at full resolution, and with some color correction, you get a much more accurate idea.
I'm not sure about the VHS sources, because we didn't use any. I guess they match some of the laserdisc ones also.
You are looking at more than 50% reduction in the picture horizontically and vertically. This is meant as a broad comparison of versions, not an indicator of detail or resolution.
