DarrellP,
I assume your Projector has a built in scaler that will convert the 480i/480p from your old standard DVD player to 720p.
Yes, it does, but it's not all that great.

My projector has a Fujuna Scaler in it that is already supposed to be one of the best, do you think i would notice the differance.
If DVD's already look super on your pj, probably not.

Is there any way you could post a digital picture of the output of the same frame of a movie using the Projectors scaler/old dvd player and the 720p directly from your new DVD/projector.
No, I don't have a high res digital camera, the one I have is SD quality and would not show the difference.

Also if you use a standard non superbit DVD title do you still notice the same dramatic differance, Thanx in advance for any input!!!
Yes. I played a couple of other disc, including some home burned DVD's and there was quite a difference in quality.

You can get 1080i or 1080p over component for commercial copy protected titles? Are you running component cables?
This unit does up to 1080p and will display over component or HDMI. I bought an HDMI to DVI convertor cable and it is just a tad sharper via HDMI.

What type of comparison research did you do before purchasing--how does it compare with the Samsung, etc?
I've been watching the chatter at AVSForum for a couple of years now and those who purchased the previous model had nothing but good things to say about it. This model was just released, I got one of the first units shipped.

WIll it play HD DVD's when they come out?
No, the Chinese developed their own proprietary HD DVD's, I ordered one with the unit, but I think The Fifth Element looked better, the Chinese disc had lots of compression artifacts in the transfer.

Where's the best deal on these, apart from the site you gave--or is that the best deal--I see them on EBAY.
As far as I know, they are only sold online from Neobits. For $199, it's a steal.
You guys know from the Voom forum what a stickler I am on PQ and I give this unit a Thumbs up! :up
