Hey.
I recently upgraded from my Screenplay 4800(X1) to a NEC LT240K. My dvd player, a Pioneer DVL-919 DVD/LD player, produced a decent S-Video image and a very good picture via component connection on the 4800. When I got my 240, the S-Video image produced was vastly superior to the 4800's but the component connection gave a picture that appeared "washed out" during bright scenes.
I received two explanations:1. The cable I was using, a generic component/vga, was the problem. 2. My dvd player, which is a non-progressive unit, was to blame. I borrowed a progressive $69 JVC unit which produced an excellent image via component using the same cable. This leads me to believe that a progressive unit is a must.
I ask anyone who has this projector or has demoed one to give a short list of progressive scan dvd players that work best with the 240k. Due to my budget I ask that a $400.00 price range be considered as I won't be spending much more than that. Thanks in advance for all the helpful suggestions.
