1) Videophiles are worried about that 1%, just as audiophiles are worried about that last 1% of performance from audio systems.2) The red chroma bug is visible on numerous DVDs, including Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (take a look at the menus). Any scene with a high red content will display this artifact, and on a sufficient screen size it's obvious immediately. Once you have this problem pointed out, you'll notice it whenever it crops up.
3) What you wrote sounds like a typical review... "It looked great on perfect material". When doing tests like that, no one really learns anything. It's the trouble material that seperates the performance out between players. This is analogous to only using superb recordings on an audio system.

You have a 27" Toshiba. What you're complaining about with DVD pales in comparison to the artifacts produced by your NTSC direct view set. It's like complaining about a chroma defect when your house is on fire.
Rich,You're basing your conclusion on a faulty assumption. That the sum total of my experience with the red chroma bug exists with my crappy 27" Toshiba.
This isn't the case. I've viewed on HD sets from Toshiba (TW40x81m 56h80), Mitsubishi (WS-55807 with the Red Push Fix) and Panasonic (56WXF95).
