Best Video:

Umbrella 4K Blu-ray see caps

Best Audio:

Umbrella 4K Blu-ray’s 5.1 is a high-fidelity remix sourced from new transfers of original magnetic elements, with inconsequential differences from the original mix.

Its 2.0 mono is a downmix of this 5.1 remix.

Older BDs and LDs have the original mono mix in varying quality, but are all inferior fidelity-wise to the new 5.1 remix. The digital track on the Bandai/Emotion Japan LD BELL-942 is possibly the best of the bunch.
