To answer your question, yes it is. However, it's not without issues. I feel even with the PQ issues it still outclasses the TE blu-rays by a large margin.

If he meant best blu ray for PQ overall then no, not even close. Better than the TE of the same films, sure.. unless you give more weight to the correct colors and black levels on FOTR TE vs. the better resolution of the EE.

I like that. Simple and honest.

To paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi:it all depends on a "certain point of view" - the studio's - or the consumers...

It's funny how, in "paint shop pro" I just clicked on "one step photo fix" and ended up with this:

It sure does look WAY better than the original.

I own both the Canadian and American editions of this set. The box that houses the plastic cases is different. The Cdn one is more on the copper side in terms of color. Whereas the U.S. one reminds me of brass in terms of color. Also, based on switching discs and visual observation, it seems that the U.S. FOTR discs has better PQ than the Cdn FOTR discs. Case in point, character's faces. With the U.S. disc I saw a greater amount of detail in character's faces than with the Cdn one. I also saw another difference that'd make owners of the Canadian edition green with envy. PM me if you want to know the details.

I did the same thing with my avatar as I captured straight off the BD. Everything that was supposed to be white became white when I hit the color correct button.

You saw another what?!

Besides that question, can anyone confrim this claims?

It's hard for me to believe but I also own the Canadian set and can't compare it with other editions.

I'd bet the county the farm was in.

US and Canada don't get separate masters of the same film on the same day.

Period.

Another case of the placebo effect convincing people they see things they don't. Just like people swearing up and down "their version" doesn't have any issues.

Wow! For once I'm in complete agreement with you. Dawning of a new day and such.....

jpmeikle · 07-30-2011, 05:56 AM

the extended editions are superb picture and audio.
hard to fault PQ and truly engaging AQ IN 6.1 dts-MA.
i would say one of the best blu-rays i have seen to date.
The so called green hue is not an issue, being from new zealand
this looks quite natural.
i would highly recommend this set to those who love the trilogy and
have a system which can truly unleash this releases potential.

I have finished watching The Fellowship of the Ring, and I am completely satisfied with it. In Shire scenes it sure looks darker, but I didn't notice any green tint, or it wasn't that strong that my eye would have noticed it. Gandalf was gray as supposed to, Caradhras was snowy white as supposed too.

You guys made it a way too big deal just because of some screenshots. I remember someone even cancelled his order because of screenshot. LOL

There was absolutely nothing wrong with this movie's colours, it looked fantastic.

You must not have seen many blurays then.

Well, you have to remember that until a movie comes out, screenshots are all people have to go by. People didn't want to end up spending $70 and have the movie be messed up; you can't take it back and tell the store you want to return it because the studio messed up the colors.

I agree, however, that it's not as noticeable as it seemed from the screenshots.

It's just a white balance though...If you change the overall colouring then re white balancing will just get rid of the colouring. Why is anyone surprised by this? It would alter 90 out of 100 modern movies...It's meant to look un-natural.

I don't B.S.. I was trying to HELP people make a decision whether to buy the Can. version or the U.S. version. I'm just reporting what I saw. I'm the one who owns and has seen both, not you. If anyone doesn't believe me and buys the Can. version over the U.S. version it'll be their loss, not mine. Especially when it comes to the green tint issue!

So, you're saying that from your personal experience, the US version looks better, right? I am mostly okay with it, except for... you know.
