Carlo, have to updated your RP-91 to the latest firmware revision (259)? This seemed to improve performance on video-based material on my RP-91. I had previously been using firmware version 250.
FWIW, the press release doesn't say that the S97 will not have Faroudja, they just dropped the name Faroudja off the press release. Historically Panasonic has never advertised the Faroudja chip being in any of their players (even when they were).
Dave Mack has a nice smile; very warm flesh tones and the winter gloves really set a friendly mood. Now Scott L has a somewhat aggressive stance suggesting a lot of emotion. Interesting, sure, but I think he needs a little toning in the mid section.
