True, there is one movie which comes to mind where the director wanted a look of Green and Red for a mood affect.

And warm and cool hues are also used to affect to differentiation between reality and fantasy, between the present and the past.

Also with so many CGI special effects and editing in movies today, who is to say what is real and how it should look?

---- But still though George; a well professionally calibrated picture display will give you the most accurate picture reproduction from the movie transferring/coloring/altering/preferring/tasting/mixing BD (DVD) engineer, based on the availability of the original cine copy from the movie director/editor/recolorist at the time when that film was being transferred.
Remastered Blu-ray movies are sometimes the very same picture transfer (just to make a financial profit: studios), and other times a totally different looking film (most of the time for the better of course, and perhaps even better than what was originally intended by the fist crew cinematographer and movie director).

The same goes with music recordings and their remasterings.

If you want the best, just get the first original "pellicule" (celluloid, digital film, ...) that came right from the original cameras when the film was shot.
...And the same goes with the best music recordings.

Then, buy the very best audio/video gear, and calibrate everything perfectly (including your room; acoustically and visually), and you can even do your own remasterings from the originals to suit your own preference. ...And if others like what you did, then you're in business. :b

But you know what; what we get today, is only the best for today.
...Because some people have access at better, and tomorrow also will see better days.
Perfection only exists when we say so; at the time we say so, and all that jazz.
...And there is always someone else with a more perfect "transfer".

I will have to think about it, funds at the moment are being saved up for tax time.

I did change the "Black" setting to "light" after having watched half of a film in "dark". That dark setting is too much of a good thing when it comes to already dark films like "Immortals" with Mickey Rourke (too much blood for me - didn't need to see all of it anyway).

-- 'Immortals' is a stylish flick, unnatural to the extreme;
not the type for adjusting your color saturations, hues, black level, etc. :b

* I got that Blu, 3D too, and it's true that it is quite dark all the way.
