Got it!! The Pioneer DV-LX50

[admin_exported]

..and at first glance (the usual quick romp through the favorite bits of my SD DVD collection) I am really impressed. The colours and definition just look fabulous on my Panny 42PX80. But...I am aware (just by the catalogue-mode instructions) that I may only be scratching its surface, so does anyone have any views on what I might 'look' for when really 'testing' it out, how I might better work it over that simply drooling over the blacks, the whites and (of course) Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge. I read reviews of this which suggested it was 'anything but plug and play'. But all I did was...well...plug and it played!! Think I need a lie down. JJ

That'll teach you to read reviews from people that can't even work a simple DVD player

Glad you agree with us that it's a fantastic player - enjoy Ewan! (I love that film - in my top 10.)

If you have them, any of the Lord of the Rings films are good all-round testers - from the bright colours of the Shires to the slow panning panoramic mountain shots to the gloomy cave scenes (low-light detail tester).

Agreed (possibly). What's the rest of your top 10?

Oh yes top 10 for sure. But right now its my 'something for the weekend'!

My problem is...I work from home....and right now productivity is taking a dive

Thanks for all the help and advice (and I'm not finished yet) Sky HD coming on Tuesday! Swoon! JJ
