  It's another case of knuckleheaded reviewers trying to make a name for themselves by hyping the insignificant. Buy what you want because you'll have to look for the chroma bug to see it and even then you'll only catch a momentary glimpse of it.

    you could see every artifact on the display, like the scan lines on CRT, screen door effect, jagged lines on LCD/DLP.

      You can see it on larger screens quite easily. Much worse with projectors. The shame is that it is well KNOWN, and garbage manufacturers don't get rid of it. If your DVDP has it, then it's junk...regardless of how much you paid. That's the other side of the opinion fence from Rich's, equally subtly offered. And the manufacturers are thumbing their noses at you. Your choice.

          I was purposely taking the extreme side compared to those who say it doesn't matter... As far as I'm concerned, if $200 DVDP's don't have the issue, a well-known and documented flaw, anything much more expensive shouldn't either. Sony is a real offender here...they're doing some weird video stuff these days. They seem to charge considerably more for technically inferior products. Yes, I own some of them, caveat emptor, read around to see what's going on, don't get fooled again, etc. I am happy with my Sony video products, but all I'm saying is there are better for less $$$.

      The MPEG chip makers know about it, but some haven't gotten rid of it.
