S-Tier Criterion 4K. De Palma's best film according to a lot of people. The Criterion reviews have been positive.

S-Tier Arrow Video 4K. De Palma's split-screen thriller. Arrow's transfer is well regarded.

Arrow's 4K transfer is called a reference disc for the format in collector circles. The grain structure is preserved, the practical effects are still effective, and the ED-209 stop-motion pops in a way it never did on Blu-ray. The 4K actually reveals too much for some people, like RoboCop's rubber chin guard and plastic armor textures. The original Arrow LE Blu-ray owners felt burned when the 4K came in identical packaging shortly after.
dir. Irvin Kershner
Shout Factory's 4K is a massive upgrade over the old Blu-ray. The steelbook artwork is polarizing, with Robo's face getting roasted in the comments, and most people recommending the standard 4K release instead. Region availability is limited to US and Canada, which frustrated international collectors. The slipcovers for RoboCop 2 and 3 line up nicely on a shelf, even though 3 is still Blu-ray only.
