Yes, but it's not the original look of the film and not what Fulci and co had in mind. Personally, I think black and white totally destroys the opening of the film, as it's meant to be sepia/golden-yellow, like a 'faded photograph', to quote the cinematographer.
But, I can appreciate that, to you, it might be preferable. But I'd rather have it as the filmmakers intended. And, as has been pointed out, the transfer as a whole is better on the corrected disc. But if you'd rather settle for an inferior transfer, that's entirely up to you. Thing is, you can get a corrected disc AND keep the one with the monochrome opening, so you're not losing out.
