I don't suppose it occurs to you that the members of the asylum, and especially the video asylum, are comprised of that .001% of the "most people" figure you cite who might not be satisfied with regular stuff--assuming that figure to be accurate. I am pretty sure asylum members are most concerned about high performance audio/video equipment, and definitely more concerned than average folks in that regard.Further, there is nothing misleading about the Shootouts in that they distinguish the various "high end" DVD players available at a given time by plainly comparing performance, period. How else would you compare the players--remote features? Why don't you tell us what you would emphasize in a DVD comparison. BTW, there isn't anything miniscule about MANY of the flaws in DVD technology, and the various players available today purporting to implement it.
Finally, the Shootouts are about as unbiased as anything you will see in print or online these days. Maybe there are some ads on the site for the now out of production EAD Theatermaster, or the $4000 Camelot Roundtable, but if so, I must've missed them. Again, anyone serious about learning about DVD players will find the articles and both Shootouts a must read.

The vast majority of members know little...that's why they come to the asylum. Virtually all the people I see posting about Secrets have junk for displays and audio. Their money would be far better spent improving those components than wasting it chasing after insignificant improvements that affect 10 discs and that hardly anyone can see.
Just to be clear, you are asserting that Asylum members are just average run of the mill audio/video electronics consumers with average to 'junk' audio/video equipment. Further, Asylum members, by your estimation "know little."Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. And don't forget, you're wrong. How can you be so wrong? Wrong.
Asylum members are VERY knowledgeable about audio/video components and technology as compared to the general population. WE are not just consumers, we are enthusiasts. The majority of members here have "systems" that cost many, many, times more than the average cost of systems owned by the general population. There is a correlation between cost and performance 99.999% of the time (to borrow a figure).
Look, I know you just want to be a contrarian about this, but you're not making sense--with me, or others in this thread. And what about the rest of my comments? What about your suggestions and/or criteria for a Shootout? You are not just going to sit there and make unilateral decisions about how Asylum members' money ought best be spent and not back it up with something other than opinion, loose proclamations, and random figures. Pull it out, let's see it. Until then, you're wrong.

I don't respond to idiocy.
