Jerry,

I've been running 48Hz for a few years now - it was a goal for me when running CRT that Lumagen helped me achieve (the goal there was twofold - one, emulate the theatrical process of 48 frames to remove motion stutter and two, lower the bandwidth requirement to the CRT which delivers a sharper image, particularly with HD material). I tried other processors but theirs was the first to get it right in the mass market. When demoing projectors for my new room I had an eye on whether they could support 48Hz... some couldn't. Like you, I couldn't go back to 60Hz now.

As for SD - I could happily watch an SD disc, if, and only if, there wasn't an HD version available. If it's a good film I'll enjoy it regardless of the format - it's the same with music - if something is only available on a legacy format it doesn't stop the music being enjoyable (you just shut of that voice in the back of your head wondering how much better it could be on the best format). Right now I still have too many HD discs to watch (no fence hugging here, boys!) so don't have to look to my SD collection for something to watch just yet.

Cheers,

Mark
