Slightly OT but you may be interested that I have carefully compared the video quality on standard DVDs from the G98 and Panasonic BD35 using their HDMI outputs via the HD621 and on to a calibrated JVC 350 projector. I have tested both with 576p output (letting the projector upscale internally) and 1080p out directly.

In any mode, the �160 Panasonic was superior in quality. The best was the Panny at 1080p. Quite amazing at the price.

The 1080p out from the G98 was subject to a lot of handshake problems and instability. Disappointing, but it is a bit old now. You can't beat it for audio though.

I use the G98 multiple concurrent outputs from the scaler to switch video to my TV (which has no HDMI inputs) using S-Video. I even output component from the BD35 to the G98 and let it convert to S-Video so I can view anything on anything.
