***BTW, have you used RP56 before. How does that compare to RP62?***Haven't tried the 56. The zealots claim the 62 has the same video chips. Based on what I saw from the 62, I hope not. The 62 had a great picture when the content was relatively simple and didn't have a lot of motion. The picture went to hell with motion, diagonal lines, closely spaced vertical lines, etc. I'm wondering if all the hype about these Panasonic players is justified.
I've used an HTPC (1.3 Pentium III, Radeon 8500, Power DVD) with a multiscan CRT front projector, so I didn't have the upconverting limitation. Despite that, I had problems with horizontal and vertical lines outside the image area, excessive flicker (even at 72hz), artificial color, picture grain, average sound, etc. More experimentation is in order (I'm going to try a Radeon 7500), but I'm not that hopeful. The HTPC isn't a complete waste though because I use it for HDTV OTA tuning (MyHD card) fed to a Toshiba 40 inch rear projector.
