Pete,Since I have a Panny 42" on order, I'm likely to be investigating a switcher for the same reasons you are. Would you mind telling me what convinced you to go with the Extron switcher over any others? (For instance, I know you can by many brands of switchers that are much cheaper). Also, which model did you go for?
Thanks,
Rich.

but I do believe I'm going to cancel the order later today. The bill came to $1110.00, and all I want to do is select between the HDTV receiver or the DVD player.even that was a savings, because for a while there they had me buying a $5000 Runco PFP-11 (or -7, I forget which) for fixed pixel displays, only we couldn't figure out what the native rate is on the panny...
i did some research on video switching and it seems as if 100mHz is the industry standard sized pipe for doing it. all the video processors I've seen use this spec., which is the same spec on the new Dennon AVR 5803, which costs alot less than a video processor.
i'm pretty happy with the scaler/line doubler built into the Panny.
I think I'm going to sell all my seperate components in the video system and just have one massive box to do it all. It's so retro.
Pete,Looks like we're going the same route! The Denon looks fabulous. But here's my solution:
I see the Pioneer is already available, and at about half the cost of the Denon.The local dealer says the Denon might arrive in a few weeks. I'm going to check it out.
still, I'd like to think again about an outboard video processor...
there's so much going on in home video today--nothing is clear, not even to the "experts"
