Warner Bros. releases Ivanhoe onto Blu-ray where it’s shown in its original 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and given a new 1080p high-definition transfer via the Warner Archive Collection line. Detail for the most part looks great, with some nice sharpness throughout and colors nicely balanced. There were no noticeable signs of aliasing, artifacting, dust marks, scratches or other ailments to the picture. As with most of the Warner Archive’s older releases, this too comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track, which does provide for some clear dialogue and there is some modest enough dept for a singular track and there were no noticeable instances of pops or hisses. |
