Charles,My post was not meant as a dig for your product. I'm sorry you perceived it as such. Many players do have inauspicious beginnings, yours included. I have used the same term to describe some of your competitors products as well, on this and other forums.
Currently many of the best players on the market are utilizing "humble" DVD-ROM drives as transports. My experience says it's much more important what is done with the bits coming off the platter regardless of the mechanism employed.
The same was true in the CD era, many of the best CD players began life as an OEM transport. Some manufacturers did a better job than others in disguising this fact.
I have become much more cognizant of the chroma flaw since I made the switch from RPTV to FPTV. The flaw was barely perceptible from the viewing position in my room on a 55" RPTV. In other words, I had to be looking for the flaw. It is easily perceptible with my relatively modest FP setup. Neither of us mentioned that some people notice the flaw, and others don't. It varies from person to person.
You're right, there is a bit more to video performance than these two areas, and I hope you chose to participate in our next benchmark. I for one think it would be quite interesting to see how your corrected player can perform in an objective comparison with its peers.
To distinguish between the shootout and a benchmark for everyone, the shootout focuses on progressive performance and is a subset of the benchmark.
