3. Web-DL vs. Blu-Ray

Interestingly, a complete Blu-ray box set of Smallville exists, but it is notoriously flawed. The Blu-ray releases for early seasons often used older masters with excessive edge enhancement (halos around characters). The Web-DL versions frequently come from newer, more carefully curated streaming masters that have been corrected for color timing (the shift from the original "WB look" to a more modern neutral grade). Many archivists agree that the Web-DL looks more "film-like" than the commercial Blu-ray.
