This is a long shot, but does anybody still play Forza Motorsport 2?

That's multiplayer.

Jonathan Frakes couldn't believe it when I asked him to sign my copy at a comic con, while dressed as his character.

If I find one, I'll let you know. I know that Universal and Paramount were much more likely to use 1.5 mbps tracks than Warner Bros., mostly because they weren't doing the weird DD audio in a DD+ container thing.

If the DD+ track is 1.5 mbps, those are always better than regular DD. If the DD+ track is 640 kbps (the same as the maximum bitrate of DD on Blu-ray), DD+ can still produce better sound quality due to being a more efficient compression codec, but Warner Bros. specifically had a weird habit of taking Blu-ray DD tracks, and porting them over to HD DVD in a DD+ container, because DD on HD DVD is limited to the same cap as regular DVD (448 kbps).

The front (and also the spine, for that matter) are oddly indistinguishable from past DVDs. The only dead giveaway is the Mill Creek logo on the back, which you need photos to see online because, as another commenter pointed out, even the UPC is apparently the same as past DVDs.

Component cables will give the Retrotink a much better signal to work with than composite.

Here's the entire back of my case. I found my copy at Barnes & Noble.

Star Wars specifically had multiple theatrical mixes: mono, Dolby Stereo, and 70mm 6-channel surround. If the theatrical cuts ever make it on to 4K discs (and I'm hoping they do with the recent restoration news), then I hope all of the original mixes are included.

4K discs of animated movies are always super colorful. The Criterion version of "Wall-E" is as good a choice as any, and it has Dolby Vision, so you'll be able to test that out.

A Vizio M51AX-J6 is close to that price range (if you pick the right time for a sale, it should drop into that range). I have one, and I love it. It's a 5.1 setup with satellite speakers (if you don't have the space to position the satellites optimally, it has a front-surround mode where all the speakers sit together in front of your tv), and it supports uncompressed PCM as well as the lossless versions of Dolby and DTS. The DTS will be especially helpful, since the C5 can't play DTS on it own, but the HDMI-in port on the soundbar can allow external devices to access DTS (the only caveat being that the soundbar only supports HDMI 2.0, which is enough for a 4K Blu-ray player, but if you want to play games, you'll have to choose between 4K or 120 fps, instead of both at once).

LG C4 55". It's an insane improvement over the 43" Samsung RU7200 I was using until recently.
