I don't own the BDs, so I was never aware of this problem, but boy, those screencaps make it look brutal. I don't think I would be able to sit though the whole film like that. I just have the EE DVDs of each, and, as you can see from the images _,,,^..^,,,_ posted, the picture seems fine, and is a vast improvement over the BD. I also don't understand how anyone could look at that comparison of The Hobbit and tell me they were improving the appearance by shifting the colour timing.

This whole discussion is turning me off Peter Jackson more and more. I am a big LOTR fan, but the films were what they were. But him shadowing Lucas in so many ways now is really making me feel sad for filmmaking.
