Released June, 2008
The Pros:Upscaling of SD content to HD is good, creates a sharp picture that approaches HD quality. Surround-sound effect is great, excellent channel separation. Looks really nice on the shelf, sleek and professional.
The Cons:Sound output is so good it raises expectations for the video processing, which is only slightly above average.
