Greetings,
It looks like many of us are in a dilemma between JVC 60/65/70 vs. Pana R56. I started out with JVC, went to Pana, then went back to JVC, and now I am with Pana.
I am not an expert but it seems like picture quality is slightly better (i.e, sharper image) in film mode for JVC. Pana does have a better video mode but you can tweak the JVC to put out decent picture under video. Hands down, Pana wins in its MP3 capabilities (digital out and being able to select title). Some cliam that pana's build quality is poor but I disagree -- Pana is made in Japan and JVC is made in China (I know, I shouldn't make presuppositions like this but historically I've had better luck with made in Japan electronics).
I am so confused now. I would love to get your thoughts on this. Does JVC really have a better picture output or are my eyes playing tricks on me. BTW, I do have a HD TV that doesn't do anamorphic squeeze so downconversion feature is very important to me.
Speaking of which, are there any 720p dvd players? What about the xbox?
thanks
