for sale in the US unless you're talking about a computer DVD-rom. I suggest you double check on those units.Hitachi has never been a significant player in rear projection television. You'd be better off looking at the offerings of Sony, Pioneer, Toshiba and Faroudja.
I thought that I read that the Denon 3300, the Toshiba 5109 and 9100 and the Panasonic H-1000 all had progressive scan outputs in native 480p format that was the best way to view dvds. The reason for choosing the Hitachi was price. All the competitive HDCD ready rear projection TV's were $4500 to $6000 list, but the Hitachi was $3500. From what I read it has a lot of features but the color temperature adjustment was not adaquate to allow a proper rendition of color---things had a blue cast. I am not able to see one here in the boonies so I will have to wait for a trip to a larger city to make a comparison. I am hoping that there are others at this site that may have already done this and can shed some insight as to how much I loose going to Hitachi. Thanks for your advice though. If I find an affordable set by the better makers or if the Hitachi is intolerable, I will change my advice.
OOPS!! The Denon 3300 Is a receiver not a dvd player; it is a progressive component ready type which switches component video.
