right now i've got my LT150 hooked up to a Panasonic RP56 and am 90% satisfied with the image.
i suspect, of that 10% dissatisfaction, a good percentage comes from the software since some titles look spectacular and others less so.
the only problems i can really see are the pixal structure which usually shows up in the white areas (as in superimposed titles...etc)
since the announcement of the power buy, i now have a chance to couple a lens with a progressive player for about the same cost i was considering spending on just a good player alone (one of the new Kenwoods) only 2 months ago.
i like the idea of this still much more than going the PC route for several reasons
1) i'm getting great de-interlacing currently on ALL my material- movie and video based.
i thought i remembered reading that the de-interlacing from a HTPC was really only good with film based material...or am i wrong?
2) don't like the thought of booting up a computer everytime i watch a movie...nor the hassle of a keyboard, etc.
so would the addition of a lens with the PS get me that much closer to the quality of a HTPC sans lens,
or would an HTPC by itself still soundly trounce this combo?
ideally i didn't really feel the NEED to upgrade anything, but a deal is a deal, and right now the lens buy looks to be a good deal and something that will still have value should i go to resell it in the future.
any thoughts on this would be very welcome
