Blue Underground Django, the best version?

Terrible news........ what's the artifact?

The BU disc is just plagued with scanner noise, real annoying. I actually had to rip the disc and compress the file(decreasing the resolution) to reduce the noise just to make it watchable. I'm sure as the other poster mentioned depending on the set of equipment it might render the noise a tad different but Django just needs a new scan. The BU disc does have great detail and colors under the nose however but the UK disc is washed of detail and color. Rough situation all around.

Doesn't sound promising, but thought I'd check in here to see if there's any "deal" with all the new deluxe DE releases of Django. Not optimistic, but waiting for confirmation whether this is still the same crappy transfer. Surprised they would rerelease such a transfer with such fanfare.

Seeing this thread and looking at the film's release year, I wonder; you think BU will put out a 50th anniversary edition with a new transfer next year?
