The video transfer from the film original on the blu-ray version of Lonesome Dove is very well done. However, if you have a good audio system, you will find that the multichannel blu-ray audio suffers because it was created from the (apparently monaural) original TV sound track. This is particularly noticeable when you contrast the sound on the main menu (apparently re-recorded in state-of-the-art stereo) with the sound track on the movie itself; high frequency response is definitely reduced and there is little channel separation. There is some surround channel content where appropriate. All in all, however, this is an still an outstanding movie, well worth the price on blu-ray.
