The question is really what the limit of Hd film capability is.I don't think you could go much farther than 1930s technicolors like robinhood, wizard of oz or gone with the wind before clearly seeing the difference between the older and modern hd releases.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. I don't know what a "pure viewing experience" is but there are MANY films that are visually baffling that are in B&W. As someone who has shot films in both B&W and color (on 8mm, 16mm, DV and HD) as great as color can look, I enjoyed playing and working with lighting in B&W.

These older Warner films, that have been scanned in at 4k, since about 1998, and have been remastered, will look amazing. Technicolor films will have a different tone to them than modern films but they won't be any less demo material.
