From reading this thread and other posts on this release its seems that many people(not all) with tube displays think the picture is outstanding while many people(again not all) with rear projection T.V.'s find the picture just ok or dissapointing. I found the transfer did not live up to the hype on my Toshiba HD Widescreen it had alot of artifacts and noise in many places particularly solid colors while I found the colors of the picture itself to be sharp almost too sharp so that it makes it grainy or noisy on HD displays, maybe this is the problem that some are seeing and others are not. To me Episode 1 DVD was a much better transfer it did not suffer from this noise and artifact problem and I noticed no edge enhancement that some others here did.
The other problem I had with Episode 2 DVD was with the weak use of surrounds compared to Episode 1 and the original Trilogy on Laserdisc. By no means is this the worst DVD transfer just one of the most overrated.
