iTunes Batman the Animated Series HD vs. SD

[esqknight]

I bought the entire series in SD awhile ago when it was on sale for $30. After they added HD, it seemed like the picture quality improved for my SD versions. But I've been super curious to know how much better the series looks in HD, but not curious to spend $80 to find out. (I think the best sale price on HD so far has been $60). This week volume 1 is on sale for $5, so I figured that was a decent price to satisfy my curiosity.

I can report that HD is better, but at least on my 55" LED, not by a lot. The picture is a little sharper, but the colors are the same. I'd say the SD version on iTunes uses the new remastered version of the series and downgrades the sharpness for SD quality streaming. That's my conclusion for what it's worth.

I'm not sure whether I'll pay to upgrade the rest of the series if the volumes go on sale.
