I have a 61" Sammy DLP. I have been very satisfied and about the only thing that I'll buy next will be a projector and a screen I can measure in FEET! (in any display, remember it can only be as good as your source, the built in Faroudja Dcdi helps with sdtv and HD of course is brilliant)
I pulled my wife's Briteview off her LCD and put it on MY (hehe) 61" Sammy DLP and it was better at handling SDTV. For DVD I use Denon's 5900 via DVI and of course with some tweaks it rocks.....I would think using like KDS' Leeza outputting in an appropriate 1:1 pixel mapping 4:3 material would...
Turn the unit off on the front Press play and open/close buttons at the same time then while still depressing, turn on with button on unit. The play and pause light up on front, then use the enter button on your remote to scroll through the firmware info. Please post results for us to...

I don't remember where I read it but when I was setting up my Def Tech's I read to make them the same. I run my mains and rear effects the same length to the inch....(I get bored)
I realize full tests haven't been done on the 5900 but for a person (me) who is interested strictly in video use and of couse HT sound which product should perform the best? I am seriously jones'n for a new player ( have the Sony DVP-S550D) but I really don't listen to music,so dvd-a and sacd...
I havn't seen any receivers with DVI connections to maintain the best possible connection from the component to maintain the receiver as the switch. I too do direct connections to the display, too bad there aren't any high end receivers with strictly audio connections or manufactured both ways...
