The current image on Bland-Name Product is a large PNG but it still seems really out of focus and jagged. Is there a better-quality version out there to be had (I'm not where I can easily look right now), or should we try to find something else?

If I knew which episode that was, I could check the series to see if the quality can be improved.

3.1 looks fine for me, and definitively better than the current.

I just like the current because of how much variety is being shown in the trope. Instead of one product, there's numerous all shown in one spot.

I found the shot in question. If I had a blu-ray player on my computer, i could probably get a slightly better quality pic, but... Well, here's the original:

and mine:

If you think another image would do better, I've no objections to replacing it.

A majority are unreadable at that size.

To me, the larger version there is fuzzier and more difficult to read. In the smaller size, I can read 6Up, 8Up, Tprite, UPrite, DrPep ( the rest is cut off by the banner), and what looks like Canada Cry .

Seems legible to me. Prefer smaller, the bigger one is fuzzy.

Although.... I really do like the one suggested upthread from Persona 3:

Yeah I thought the same about my image. Maybe the original is from the blu-ray in the first place.. /shrug

Part of the problem with the new version of the current is that it was saved as a low-res JPG. DRCEQ, can you get another take on the same pic and save it as a PNG? That might help.

With fuzzy images, I find that sometimes it actually helps to make them smaller. Which is also what you should do if you take the screenshot yourself, since if it's larger than the resolution of the video it usually resizes worse than if you'd do it after creating the image.

Ok. In order to get it below 200kb, I had to scale it down from 350x to 250x. However, I can still see that the original pic is sharper and more colorful.

I'd rather not have a two-panel image.

First panel then "why havent they been sued' in the caption with a link to the second image?

I like 14, but I think we can crop a lot of it on the right and a little on the left to help shrink it down to Wiki size.

I don't see any problem with it being two panels.

Speak up if you need it cropped and good quality. I have software which should allow me to do that.

Two panels is much less concise. I prefer one also.

The suggestion in 20 might work, though I slightly prefer a better quality image of the current (14).

As suggested above
