Picture Quality:
In these caps EnterOne looks too blue, Tartan looks colourless. On my 28” TV, EnterOne doesn’t looks as blue as it does on my computer monitor. Tartan still looks colourless and the whole image looks like it’s about to fall appart (a bit more than EnterOne). It doen’t show in these caps, but it shows on my TV. I can live with it, but people with big screens may have problems. Neither disc is great, but I think EnterOne is better.

Sound Quality:
The audio sync is a problem on both discs. I guess it’s because of the original material. Nearly all sound effects are more OR less out of sync (meaning some effects are more out of sync than others). However, Tartan seems to have a better overall sync.

Subs:
I have a good reason not compare the spelling and the accuracy, however there are other things I can point out. The film has lots of english dialogue, and Tartan features burnt in korean subs for those scenes. EnterOne doesn’t have burnt in subs, but it mistranslates some the english dialogue into english. Personally I prefer EnterOne.

Extras:
Tartan has very little to offer when it comes to extras. EnterOne is a 2 dicer, but no subs. There is one unintentionally hilarious english language interview, though.

Overall I prefer Tartan because of the better audio. There’s a french disc coming soon, and it’s probably gonna be better than these.

I really don't like the Tartan. Looks fuzzy, washed-out and contrast-boosted..

What country is the EnterOne release from, Good Korea or HK?

Both look pants to me, but they probably both look fine under real-world circumstances (as in on 32-40" TV, not a 200" projected wall).

Both look fine to me and virtually the same but the Korean has the edge.
