Thanks Daniel- this only makes the point more stark. What are you paying for with the Panny? I suspect its to be first. Maybe there are costs in the laser tech but if the PS3 can be out there for what- like $600- even if Sony loses $300 per unit you still have a game unit and BR player. Here is just the player- I suspect there is at least $200 of "early adopter rape factor" in that price. frown That said I have no objections to the output of the player.

Mark, I suspect the blacks are being crushed as well. Looking forward to the new projector for a more critical view of these formats.

best regards,
Jerry
