Re: au contrare.....not so fast there.....

I recently saw what I believe was a Toshiba as the source for a projector and the picture was superb, even though the projector was 'only' capable of 720p.

On the other hand I've seen quite a few HD-DVD and Blu-Ray sources feeding various 37" and 42" plasmas in local retailers, and the picture on my own 42" Panasonic with a Denon DVD-A1XV as source is superior.

Granted I carefully selected my plasma, power cords and HDMI lead to get optimum performance and the DVD player has the very best upscaler, but I'm in no rush to get any of the Hi-Def options just yet although a 50" LG plasma fed a hi-def signal via some kind of 'Hi-def streaming' source (no model number or indication of the manufacturer) provided the best images I've seen.

Once the hardware and software are up to scratch - and SKY HD gets it's act together - I'll be opting in for sure but at the moment I'm largely unimpressed.

If your video system is anywhere near the standard of your audio rig however I might just have to dig out the goose-fat again, smear myself from head to foot and set off on another cross Atlantic swim......
