I agree with all of you, but...
I think I've tested almost every available version of DL (getting better image each time, last one was Blu-Ray,HD enhanced, aso)
including Daphne with downloaded Mpegs or DVD-converted files but never, never did I feel the same as the original LD.
Laserdisc has a picture quality that I never was able to find in any conversion I've played.
May be that's because I Played the LD version on a TV and the other versions on PC Monitors.
But I remember the first time I was able to play DL using Daphne, and a real LD player.
I tought : "That's the real DL I was playing in the arcade" and that i've been looking for all these years each time a new version was out.
So is LD Image great or is it just an output hardware display difference that i noticed ?
It appears a little like purism and fan-fanatism.
A LD-Player uses a laser to read the disc as well as a DVD- or Bluray-Player, right?
If you go with .mpeg´s (or what ever files), with LD, DVD or BR, its all digital content. For my understanding it should be all the same as well as the testmonitor is the same.
The LD has been replaced by the DVD and the DVD by the BR....and one is the enhancement of the other - from that point of view the LD should be the lowest quality...although, if the LD is the source the other media wont be better than the LD-content, but should at least be as good as the source.
Thats my consideration
