does Tombstone VS have a bad transfer?
A review here on DVDtalk says that the transfer is flawless, while another that I have seen says it has enormous edge enhancement. I don't know how these reviews can be so different. Aren't they reviewing the same DVD? Anyway, how is the transfer?

I think it looks good. The main problem is the edge enhancement. I have a 61" display and it is definitey noticable in certain scenes. However, I think the transfer is still good (maybe around "B" or "B-" grade). A big improvement over the original version.
And the DTS track ROCKS! Outstanding track.

The daylight scenes where the the bright sky is behind the men is when the EE is at it's worst. I guess the black suits really make it stand out. I agree about Phantom Menace too, but it didn't bother me too badly.

Hi Deckard-10.
Did you know that your sig quote is from the poem "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?
And the Tombstone transfer is just fine. I just looked through some scenes for edge enhancement and it' REALLY hard to find - there's a little during the daylight scenes if you catch some building meeting skyline, but you REALLY have to be looking for it.
It's not at all noticeable and it's a very fine transfer. Not reference quality, but I wouldn't expect it to look any better until it comes out again in Hi-Def.

Doesn't EE differ from setup to setup and isn't it usually more pronounced in more high-end setups? I would figure that's why there could be differing views on the EE on Tombstone. On my low-end setups (old TV - RCA hookups/computer DVD) it looks great with some film dirt that I can remember, but it wasn't major.

I'm so glad I'm just a movie/music/video game lover rather than an audio/videophile more in love with the technology. I can just enjoy the content and not getted pissed off by little imperfections like some grain, some EE, etc. etc.
