By the way, I hereby withdraw all previous complaints about the color in 2.5. I redid the settings on my TV last night, and it turns out I’ve had the warmth up waaaaaaaaay too goddamn high for the past however-long-it’s-been-since-I-played-with-settings. I kicked it back to a neutral level and now 2.5 looks gorgeous.
Incidentally, Empire 2.0 still looked great with the crazy warmth. That might have been why I assumed the problem was with Star Wars 2.5 and not my hardware.
