from LA Computer Center Summary: Plasma screen monitor capable of HDTV resolution, containing internal Interlace to Progressive scan circuits. Specifically, if you use a DVD player without CUE (chroma upsampling errors), like some, but not most, on the market, the progressive scan signal bypasses internal circuits and produces a ghost-free almost 3D image that is wondrous to behold. On the other hand, the input from a satellite TV receiver will be converted and exhibit many more videao artifacts that a normal CRT TV. If you watch DVD's more than you watch TV (as I do), you can buy a DVD player with excellent progressive scan output that shows the Pioneer has a sharp, excellent picture. But if you use a DVD player with CUE, the picture is poorer than many TV's at 1/6 the price. So Caveat emptor. Strengths: Awesom picture--almost 3D with appropriate input. Upgradeable circuit board for 2 of the 4 video inputs. Weaknesses: Horrible internal Progressive scan converter exhibiting bad chroma upsampling errors on any non-Progressive scan input material.
