No, there's not a single instance of grain there. There's only some electronic noise due to the DNR+sharpening, which is completely different.

That may well be, but certainly not that contrast-boosted.

The U.K. disc wins hands down. It would be dead even IMHO if the TT disc had more extras and was $10-15.

Sure, I was referring to the transfer only.

To me, at the end of the day, one looks like film, the other does not. That's paramount in my book.

As you put it, I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
