Unfortunately this hasn’t been done for others like Deep Space Nine and Voyager, which came after TNG’s run.

The reason for that, by the way, is that while TNG was shot on film (from which more detail could be extracted using new technology), DS9 and Voyager were at least partially mastered directly on videotape (especially the CGI effects) and thus there was no higher-quality source to pull from to begin with.

  Yeah, there’s a real doughnut-hole in the '90s-2000s between when stuff was old enough to be remastered and stuff was new enough to be digital/HD to begin with.
  
  There’s a really good Technology Connections video on the topic, by the way.

    Yeah no way they would eat that kind of cost for not much value overall. The fans would love it but no way they make their money back.
    
    Thanks for the neat info tho!
