Nick and Chris, you raise some good points.
I too was disappointed at not being able to have a good poke around the equipment. Maybe Meridian should consider an open day at their factory. Do they ever do this sort of thing for customers?
Apart from some of the HD material displayed, I too agree that the video presentations were, whilst very good, not overwhelming. Are we not just reaching the limits of what non HD sources can offer?
Chris. What Pioneer plasma are you using? I have a PDP-436XDE and whilst generally happy, media box permitting, would like to go that extra mile.
