Oz color difference

[ChrisW6ATV]

I could joke about the nick name for NTSC, "Never Twice the Same Color", but what you see is probably a mix of several reasons. One is the gray-scale/color-temperature difference between the two sets as well as differences in basics such as color level and contrast settings. The next is differences in how one camera records a picture compared to another. The third is what Tom mentioned, that The Wizard Of Oz has been remastered, in fact more than once in the last twenty years if I remember right. There are even two different versions in HD, not to even count versions on DVD, Laser Disc, or SD broadcast.

I'm curious to know more about there being two different HD versions. The only one I am aware of is the Warner Blu-Ray version.
Is there one by another distributor?

Cliff-

There is an HD version that was broadcast on, if I remember right, TNT HD, and the restoration that was put onto the Blu-ray discs as you mentioned. The TNT HD broadcast was before the latest restoration was completed.
