I don't own it, so I saw NBNW on someone else's HT Set-up, a 60"+ Panny plasma.

But I thought the BD was better in every way than the DVD, and the color was excellent. I've seen this on the big screen, and this is the closest I've gotten at home to that experience. COnsidering the source material, I think the BD is very good.

I was fine with Forbidden Planet too - you can't expect FX from 40 and 50 years ago to have the detail and realism of current CGI. I'm easily able to overlook those things for all the other advanatges we've gained in these BDs of classic film. It's simply not possible to go back and digitally redo all the great effects shots from classic movies...nor should we want to.
