I purchased their The Outer Limits complete series box set several years ago, and would call that one absolutely gorgeous. Which is why I didn’t hesitate to get this.

So I’m thinking if I should just stick with the DVD set, going forward. Of course the HD upgrade makes a difference, but otherwise these Blu-rays because of the speckling, scratches, dirt, and other imperfections takes away from that, IMO anyway.

Their disclaimer at the beginning of each disc is quite appropriate.

Have you viewed all the discs yet? My opinion is only on the first 2. I have 6 more to go and you've got me nervous for those! But yeah, so far there is nowhere near too much damage for me personally. The visual improvements far outweighed any specks or damaged moments. It was a treat to finally see a filmic presentation. It far surpassed the dvds & streaming. And any defect looked to be a film defect, I don't mind those as much. It felt like a quality, honest, warts & all scan. Disc 3-8 may change my mind!
