Conclusion: The Preservation of a Legacy

Why "BluRay" Source Matters

• Golden Eye 1995 ensures the correct cut of the film (no modern revisionism).
• 1080p matches the intended theatrical resolution of the photochemical effects.
• 10bit eliminates posterization and banding in shadows and skies.
• BluRay guarantees the source is a legitimate, filmic master (not a streaming web-dl).
• x265 HEVC provides modern efficiency without sacrificing grain or detail.

10bit

Encoding in (x265’s --profile main10 ) provides four times the color precision of 8bit. Even when playing back on a standard 8bit monitor, the decoder dithers the 10bit signal down to 8bit, resulting in smoother gradients and zero visible banding.
