Mostly no. (Not a big movie rewatcher.)

> can think of half a dozen different other reasons why there's a difference between older and newer media

Would love for someone to study this. I think I can eliminate TV, streaming provider and my self as variables, given, again, highly non-scientifically, I've personally noticed the difference with those held constant.

That said, I'm researching sound bars to see if the TV speakers are part of the problem.
