How can I disable all the video enhancements that make old movies look creepy and ugly?

After learning the shocking news that Windows10 no longer allows most video players including VLC to play DVDs anymore (this apparently just happened), I've tried PowerDVD. But it has a built-in "video enhancement" that makes everything look like it was shot on digital video. I hate this.

How can I change the settings so that a movie from the 1950s will look like a movie, and not like some modern-day digital crap?

I can't believe the lousiness of modern life sometimes. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I tried turning off the Video Enhancements in the program, but it makes no difference, The movie has lost that "movie" look and feel.

This is why I don't watch television anymore.

Precisely speaking, your 1950 films, which are produced in DVDs, all are already digitalized and tuned by movie studios. Otherwise, they cannot be placed in a DVD for playback with a computer.

If you have already turned off the video enhancements in powerdvd, the video playback result should be mainly controlled by your GPU and monitor.

Have your ever checked that how the DVDs play in other players or TV player?
The result should be similar or same if nothing got adjusted.
