I never read a post from some one that was so full of himself and thinks he knows what he is talking about. Have you ever actually ran a candance test disc in youe source?? Have you had both your source and display properly calibrated to compliment eachother
really and what do you so wisely recommend. this is from personal expierence, from high end AV stores and all around general recomendations from real AV sites, audiogon and videogon. These are people that spend 30-50,000 on a single mono block. Talk to me when you pay more for an integrated dual monoblock setup than a plasma and you are spending about $150 a meter for HDMI cables to get the best out of what you have. Pioneer Dv-79AVi is a standard in the industry. Its one of the most affordable standards too. IT has a great transport, both audio and visual, burr brown dac is a plus. There are few people that have transformed the boards and the drive and made it an HD-DVD player. ofcourse that costs more than outright buying a dedicated HD-DVD player, but people like this so much they have down everything to keep the audio transport/dac. The only way I would consider DLP, although good price/picture quality ratio is a projector. Rear projection DLPs are meh.
