Black levels are very good as well. Volume 10, on the other hand, matches very well the images I saw on the first eight discs. Maybe the dull nature of the show affected all aspects of quality and the cameramen didn't even bother to focus. Both episodes suffer from issues related to print quality. These aren't a constant nuisance, but they're there in some form pretty often.
Colors reflect the high-intensity hues seen on the first eight DVDs.
While these often seem quite brilliant, they come across as blotchy and vague much of the time. Despite my criticisms, I remain pleased with the visual quality of the Trek DVDs. After all, I doubt anyone really thought these suckers needed babying over the years, so it's amazing that they look as good as they do. Objectively, they present a lot of problems, but subjectively, they seem terrific. My praise for the newly-mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks of all these episodes is much less equivocal.
