The VFX elements for TNG were mostly kept, so it was mostly new post-production - it was DS9 that got bit hard, since there was much more CGI in the later seasons making an HD remaster too expensive.

I'll bet we see neural network-based upsampling (aka super resolution) being used for HD remasters in the near future.

They may have gone back to them for the Blu-ray release of ST:TNG. If you haven't seen them, the picture quality is amazing - far better than the DVD releases. Word is that CBS/Paramount said the cost was such that they'll never do it for the other Star Trek TV properties.

Never is a long time. I still have hope.

For DS9/VOY and for Babylon 5.
