Initially, you'll get a slightly different perspective from me that that from Jerry and Ken.

At the moment, my projector is a "lowly" Panny AE900 which is a stop-gap between my old AE300 and a 1080p model. So I'll be able to report on how much the differences in resolution and artifacts are visible on a "budget" 720 line device.

From February though, barring unexpected financial ruin, it will be the real deal - a JVC HD1 (aka RS1 in the States) 1080p DiLA with CRT-like blacks and 15000:1 contrast without a digital iris. [understatement]I imagine the differences between upscaled SD and HD will be considerable.[/understatement]

I'm also strongly considering replacing my 598 w/SDI (>�1000) with an Oppo 970 (�140) as my main SD video transport. Which says a number of things...

Better get working on my HD-DVD Xmas list!
