Great picture. Very sharp image and color was right on. Better audio than DVD and I'm not sure the special edition has even been released on DVD or Blu-Ray. If you still have a Laserdisc player tucked away in the closet then this is the release you want to watch. Audio was wonderful and picture was very clear. Laserdisc were a little cumbersome but when you hear and see what they can do with this release then Maybe it's worth a look back. Unless you have Blu ray. Then I may change my mind but this is an A in my book.
