I know that GOUT's master was prepared for '90s CRTs.

My problem with GOUT is that my primary TV is a 36" GE CRT TV (148lb.!) and GOUT still looks terrible on it while playing.

Yeah, I agree and I found the primitive DVNR distracting even back then, but also many other video transfers looked pretty bad sometimes back then. You are also more used to better looking video transfers these days. You could get away with this in '93 that's what I meant by my comment.

You can also add to your list that the LD's displays more vertical detail compared to the DVD transfers, which is completely ridiculous. Even if the masters were limited and looked like shit they contained more detail than what is seen on the DVD's. This is the case on at least Star Wars and ESB.

A classic example of this:

I also agree with what Asaki mentioned earlier, what about the rest of the DVNR? the speeder pass by shot and the four-eyed stormtrooper sort of became the poster boys of that problem, but it's far more extensive than just those two shots, overall I have to say that ESB is the worst affected by it, even though the speeder shot in the first film is the single worst one.
