ChuckPenn3 | The Searchers (1956) Video Comparison Laserdisc to DVD to Blu-ray @ChuckPenn3 | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
I recommend viewing this comparison in 1080 Full HD resolution on an HDTV rather than on a mobile device.

Note that the old unmatted transfer reveals set lights and the edges of backdrops at the top of the frame that were never intended to be seen with proper matted projection.
