It may be about time, but I'm not sure it's "this time". Evidently the first several seasons are merely upscaled. This is not a restoration from original elements. The last three seasons were filmed with HD cameras and so may be actual HD quality in this set, although from what I read DNR was used on them.

I own the whole series on DVD, and frankly it looks pretty good, so I'm a no for this set.

Yeah, that's disappointing. I should have realized there was something suspicious when they are selling a 10 season set for only $135.00, when ST sold for $99.00 per season which was true HD-remastered. Looking at several screenshots, it looks like VE just cleaned it up (original film-16mm). I also own the DVD set and the final three seasons 8-10 in digital format which left me wanting the first seven in the same quality. This release is also the same quality that has been streaming on different platforms and advertised as HD. Hopefully another company will do an actual "remaster" of it.

Also, what's streaming are the "SciFi Channel versions", rather than the original Showtime edit. It's probably most noticeable in the pilot.

Seasons 6-10 are HD. Seasons 4-5 were shot 35mm but edited SD. Would need to rescan, reedit, plus HD effects.

So maybe, seasons 6-7 from this set may look better than a simple upscale as 8-10 are already set in true HD which looks great as is.

I said they are HD! Read the fucking link.

reply

Yes, I read the link and no they are not HD.
You confused the original HD broadcast ratio of 6-10 with the resolution.

Next time, finish reading your own cited reference.

Printed Film Format:
Video (HDTV) (seasons 8-10)
Video (SDTV) (seasons 1-7)

1-7 are not in true HD (1080p), they are upscaled and cleaned from 480p for platform streaming and the VE Bluray releases.
8-10 are the only seasons in true HD-resolution since they were captured with an HD-camera.
