Hey All....

Well, just got the Panasonic RP-82 from Onecall.com.
Running it thru my Mitsu 73" hdtv.
I must say, the picture quality is beautiful!
Images are bright and crisp, especially using the Cinema 2 mode.
Lost just a touch of color level(nothing substantial at all) running thru component out but black level is right on. Remember it's all in the source. So many options with this player to adjust video and audio settings. Can't think of any better player for the money.
Anyway, first film watched "Meet The Parents." Quality was nice, overall balanced color yet picture was slightly on the soft side but nice.
Second film: "Lord Of The Rings." I was breathless!! The images were 3 dimensional, colorful, crisp, clean. Totally immersed me into the film. The detail was so good, I could see each strand of hair or glistening beads of sweat on the characters. Amazing...

Third Film: "Jaws". All I can say is for an film over twenty five years old, looks like was remastered last week! Can actually see the shark is rubber and water so real, I put my bathing suit on. :)

For $220.00 I can't be more happy. Grab one if you can find it.
