Where were you in '77?

I’m curious then, which home video release of Phantom Menace is thought to have the best color timing? I never thought the dvd looked off to me.

FYI, Cinema Sins series on youtube used the blu-ray version with CGI Yoda and as much as that film has been panned, man does it look amazingly better than the clips from Attack of the Clones on their video for that movie.

Take back the trilogy. Execute Order '77

I think the DVD is probably better for color, aside from a few Naboo shots that people say are too pink.

There are also shots that are a bit more cropped than the blu-ray. And it’s a very grainy transfer, but that’s probably not as noticeable unless you look at the HDTV version.

That’s my favorite part of the DVD- it actually looks like film! Unfortunately, if you have an HDTV, the edge-enhancement is really obvious and distracting.

I’m pretty sure there’s a pink cast through the whole film. It isn’t terrible though, so the DVD is probably the best choice, especially if the pink were to be corrected.
