I went through the same thing a couple months ago. In the end, I decided to get a Panny CP-72. I wasn't able to find a great player with both scaling and Genesis/Sage/Faroudja performance. What I have found is that the Faroudja-equipped Pannys not only have best-in-class progressive performance...

What a load of crap - changing standards out of paranoia and screwing the consumer. How many of us took the early HDTV dive because we wanted the latest and greatest? How many of us were assured by EVERYONE that buying a High Def screen today would not penalize us tomorrow because we'd be...
