dvd wins hands down; this from a laserdisc diehard with a collection that seldom sees the light of day anymore. technology marches on ...

Funny thing is, since getting a HLD-X9 LD player I have been watching more LDs then DVDs. It is now very rare that I even watch a DVD anymore. Putting up with all the forced commerical advertisement, which seems to have increased, on DVDs is rediculous. And let's not forget about the DVD software/hardware incompatibilities.
yeah, i hear what you say. but i have to resort to noise reduction on pioneer elite dvl-91 to make even recently released laserdiscs look good. color saturation, resolution, dot crawl, you name it and i find it more lacking. ld software is limited and sure the format is - oops - was, aimed at video(film)philes but i don't quite have the romaticism with the format. yes, some dvds are over the tip with their ads, enhanced edges and shrill (almost always DD, not DTS) audio tracks but on a well mastered disc there is really no contest which looks better on a xbr direct view big screen. and since i like engaging sound presentations i practically drool over a remastered film like north by northwest that finally! gets the sound right (lfe) on latest dvd :-)
