I do think the colour timing of the 2004 transfer is salvageable through careful correction--it's not quite as far off as it seems. However, it does have a huge amount of problems, and it's insulting to say it's just down to consumer equipment and people complaining about nothing. These problems are often very obvious. Lightsabres and laser blasts should not be magenta, not ever, and the red levels in a lot of shots are through the roof. Not to mention the hideous black crush, which is probably the worst visual aspect of the entire thing, and makes all the other problems stand out even more. The Death Star corridors should be blue to some degree, not grey as in the faded GOUT, but the new and apparently intentional blue cast often intrudes onto Vader and stormtroopers and pretty much everything else. In trying to make the backgrounds a consistent hue, rather than varying as they sometimes did in the original cinematography, they pretty much damned the colours of every other element to fluctuate wildly and beyond reason.

And of course the '04 sound is a pile of crappe, made by a tone-deaf imbecile.
