Quote: The Sony "Pearl" lists for $5000. The DVDO VP-50 lists for $3000. In the first place, these are list prices and street is probably considerably less. But for a maximum of $8000 (minus any discount) you can get one superb picture today that you could only dream about just last year. End of quote

just another thought: For half of this ($4000) you get the Mitsubishi HC5000 which offers also 1080p/24 input and has HQV processing built in. I am eagerly awaiting the first real reviews. IF the HQV processing does its job as expected, you will probably not need an outboard processor since the internal processing should be superb.
