There's definitely a green tint and black crush that wasn't there before no matter how much you deny it, the transfer's never been fixed.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

Others swear by their copies having christmas tree green snow and "nothing like blue" skies. To each their own though. I'm very pleased with the transfer.

Now you've gone n done it...

I have the original theatrical editions on BD and I'm planning on buying this set. Is there any improvement in PQ for the 2nd and 3rd movies as they're on two discs?(I know Fellowship looks better due to the new transfer. And no, I don't mind the green tint

.) What about the AQ? Any difference between the ES track on the original set and the discrete 6.1 track on this one?

srinivas1015 · 02-23-2013, 09:40 AM

What's the difference between these two editions?

The newer one doesn't have digital copies and is only 42% off while the other one does contain digital copies (expired) and is 46% off.

Thanks. I'm trying to decide whether to buy these now or wait as there may be a sale when The Hobbit is released.

Here's an interesting little video that lends itself nicely to the whole "GREEN TINT" debate.

So, maybe all of you have a differing individual experience regarding what your brain considers a shade of green compared to mine.

mayday72 · 02-24-2013, 12:27 AM

Just watched FOTR EE for the first time. First of all it is an absolute MASTERFUL peace of film making. 2nd of all as far as a green tint I just don't see it. Perhaps VERY slight in a scene or 2 but nothing like all the crazy ranting & raving I've read.

Cortiz · 03-16-2013, 07:27 PM

The Extended Edition Set is currently at Wal-Mart for $44.95. That's the lowest I've seen the set at a retail store.

I just turn down the green colors on my TV. Makes it not so green-looking.

nolfoc · 03-17-2013, 01:21 AM

okay too many opinions here, not really finding me answer scrolling a few pages back.. can someone just flat out answer this simple question i have

I dont care about Special Features at all, i just care about PQ and AQ.. now does the Extended Editions have the same transfer as the Theatrical editions? Which one looks and sounds better? or are they pretty much the same transfer

As far as I know, the only movie that is different is Fellowship, and I believe the extended have a 6.1 audio mix, instead of the 5.1 on the theatrical.

no, they are not the same transfers. besides the green tint there is a distinct increase in in detail and color's on the EE versions. soundwise they're about the same
