...although watchful viewers will likely be able to spot some minor deficiencies (slightly faded blacks, a tad more grain) in the alternate footage on the European cut and extended version....

...here the theatrical cut seems to have been given the most attention...
However, the other two versions of the films suffer in comparison. The European versions is presented in Dolby 5.1 surround, and also includes different pieces of score by The Goblins. It sounds the same as the theatrical cut, except for the different footage, but it is never distracting or really noticeable. Surrounds are still flat and not very active, and low end typically pale by today's standards. The lack of a DTS option doesn't hurt much, as even on the theatrical cut it is hard to tell the difference. What is weakest, however, is the extended version, which is really just Romero's early cut shown to exhibitors. It is presented in mono only, and is flat and tinny. Effects sound harsh and dated, and dialogue reproduction is wanting. Low end is also poor. However, this version is probably only going to appeal to completists, so perhaps its weak soundtrack is not a huge drawback.
