Got a chance to see 2 brand-new RP56's (one from Circuit City and one from Sears) brought over by avdoc who wanted to see my LT150 4:3 XGA DLP PJ. This progressive DVD player is very impressive IMHO with great deinterlacing and image quality. We viewed selected scenes from Fifth Element Superbit, It's a Wonderful Life, Gladiator, Wolf to evaluate the PJ for rainbows, colors, contrast (blacks and low level detail), sharpness, jaggies.
Everything looks great until we fast forward. Suddenly jaggies popped out from every curve lines (actor's ears, shoulders, etc.). We stopped the player and restarted the movie. This fixed the jaggies. We thought we were crazy so we got the other RP56 and the same observation was noted. This occured with more than one DVDs. Of course HTPC showed no such problems with fast forwarding or rewinding and image quality is slightly better than RP56 which is about 95% image quality of HTPC.
Thus, I'd like RP56 owners to check to see if 1) the player has a bug (the whole line vs. unlucky few units, 2) my LT150 has compatibility problem with RP56, 3) we're crazy.
