Don't read what we say about it then ;-) Chroma! Chroma! Chroma!And if it's still alive and kicking when you purchase your next display, you'll be all set.
It's not like the player had a huge premium to include progressive scan capability.

Kotches,Yes, the dreaded Chroma bug is lurking at every turn. What I find much more ominous, though, is the pan/combing in interlace that supposedly would have been cured by the P-scan capability. My 36" XBR250 has vertical scan to haze it up a little. I know a good stable pan is tough even with film. Seems that many new movie-makers don't realize the adverse effects of such devices. I notice even in high quality theaters that many pans are not well done. Maybe it's an intended device in some cases, but I find it distracting and almost nausiating. The pans are done slowly enough to show background detail but too swiftly to be seemlessly captured by 24fps.
Still not completely convinced on the 700P, BTW. The shiny fascia glares out from the smoked glass monitor support cabinet. I'd like to find the highest quality (preferably black) player in the sub $500 price range (street). I'm also not too thrilled with the longevity of Sony DVD players after the more expensive 550 model it replaced crapped out after just 14 months (can't get the damn thing out of stand-by). Any recommendations?
thanks again
Panasonic RP-91K. That's the short answer.In all fairness, you will probably not see a mild chroma flaw on a 36" set. It's barely visible on a 55" RPTV. I haven't seen a severe chroma flaw on the 55" set, because I haven't had a player with this affliction yet.
It will become a serious issue once the FP setup is running.
Combing is a "feature" of video mode. There's no way to avoid combing and other nasty artifacts (severe jaggies) in interlaced scan.
Hope this helped.
