A Seleco dealer in Dallas is selling the Seleco HT 200 with a Faroudja scaler (I don't know which model) and indicated that their rep. is suggesting the package. It is my impression from reading postings on this forum that a scaler is not needed with the HT 200. The dealer is not aware of the HT200DM and my real question is whether or not the Faroudja is needed with it. Any comments would be appreciated.

For 480p viewing of DVDs, no scalar is necessary as the DM is native 480p. If you want DISH, NTSC, or other things, a scalar would be helpful. Obviously, for HDTV it is not necessary either.


Personally, I would rather get the DM, as it is a 16:9 mode so you lose less pixels, and is cheaper than a HT200 w/ Faroudja NR and Panamorph.


I would check with Alan or Jason at AVS on pricing for either...I doubt your dealer is that competitive...

I use the HT250 with a Faroudja NRS, simply a great combination in my view. Seleco themselves even suggests this bundle.
