I can't speak for the audio quality as I haven't played them with  
sound on, but the video looks abit better in version 3 to me, with  
some more contrast.
Compared still pictures at 1:06, in version 3 the blackboard feels  
easier to read, and items on the desk behind the speaker seem like  
they have more detail as well.
To me, the hair looks less blurry too.

Cheers,
Henry
