Like I said in this post or somewhere else, my display is the limiting factor here. My Sony looks the best with a 1080i signal input. It deinterlaces and does whatever for it's 768 native resolution. I am thrilled that the Pany 55 does what it does for DVD and that I am able to use the HDMI out from the Pany to the Sony DVI-d input using a a "special" ($39 from Crutchfield) cable. For the time being my BD player is an upscaling DVD player. I did order 3 BD titles and will get a couple for Xmas. I wish a new display was in my future but the wife wants a new fridge.

Interesting but not so surprising phenomena with the Panny 55. When I first power up and start watching a (DVD) disc, the picture is a little grainy and within 15 minutes the grain goes away. If I start the disc over, the grain is not there. Could be the display but I do not think so at least not from a broadcast signal standpoint. It takes 90 minutes for the grain to go away with my Marantz Universal player.
