The film's release on [[DVD]] was called "appallingly bad" due to the quality of its transfer, which has been said to suffer from excessive grain, blur, and muted colors.<ref name="Michael">{{cite web |title=Death Becomes Her DVD review |url=http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/DeathBecomesHer.asp |access-date=November 13, 2012 |website=michaeldvd.com.au |archive-date=May 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120518155757/http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/DeathBecomesHer.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> A BBC review described it as "horrible" and "sloppy".<ref>{{cite web |last=Haflidason |first=Almar |date=2000-10-12 |title=Films - review - Death Becomes Her DVD |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/10/12/death_becomes_her_1992_dvd_review.shtml |access-date=November 13, 2012 |website=[[BBC]] |archive-date=September 25, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925050745/http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/10/12/death_becomes_her_1992_dvd_review.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> Many online DVD forum users speculated that the DVD transfer was taken from the [[Laserdisc]] edition of the film and called for a restorative release. ''Death Becomes Her'' was initially distributed in an [[open matte]] fullscreen (1.33:1) edition in the U.S., while a widescreen version with its theatrical aspect ratio (1.85:1) was released worldwide. The latter version has also been mistakenly labelled [[Anamorphic widescreen|anamorphic]].<ref>{{cite web |date=2012-07-08 |title=A stroll down the DVD memory lane |url=http://guidohenkel.com/2012/07/a-stroll-down-the-dvd-memory-lane/ |access-date=November 13, 2012 |website=GuidoHenkel.com |archive-date=November 11, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111081508/http://guidohenkel.com/2012/07/a-stroll-down-the-dvd-memory-lane/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It was later released in North America on [[Blu-ray Disc|Blu-ray]] from [[Shout!
