Title: Brightness issue on Legend Film's DVD is also on the Blu-ray
Product review: The Legend Films DVD release was improperly mastered with both the B/W and color versions overly bright, and that error has been maintained with the mastering the Blu-ray. There are no blacks, just light grays, and the tonal balance is all off and wan. One must significantly lower the brightness on one's display to get an acceptable image. The colorizing looks much better as well when darkened. I'm of the feeling that the image was brightened for colorizing, but then it wasn't darkened again (as it should've been) before final mastering.As far as the HD upgrade, it is minor. It appears that a great deal of digital noise reduction was used, leaving patterns and edges of objects rather waxy. It also shows up how some of the colors bleed over on different objects. I only paid about $9 fo this Blu-ray, but come on... At LEAST get the brightness issue corrected!Legend Films - why?!
