Watching this series in 1080p with DTS audio creates a whole new experience, quite different from the original broadcast and the DVD's. It's like re-discovering it in wonderful ways. After binge watching the first season, I can say the re-mastered version has subtle differences from the DVD's. The cuts are more precise, some scenes are dropped or shortened and the effects look crisp and clear. You can actually read some of the small letter text (hilarious in some cases), and make out the hull lettering in every Federation ship. Hey, I didn't even know the Enterprise had a side hull ID with the name, and a smaller lettering in the nacelles (that one is only there in the first season). If you haven't seen the Blu-ray release, you haven't seen this series at all.

@carlos-teran I was initially opposed to the re-mastered version but I recently got the whole show for a great price. I am in the process of watching it now and I have to agree with you completely. I am not sure about dropped or shortened scenes, although it might explain why I felt some episodes where different. But the picture is great, I've already paused the discs several times to read the ships screens. That was impossible on SD. As I already know the show pretty much inside out I try to take in more of the sets and props so, yes, you are right - a totally new experience.
