1. As cfraser said below, scaling in most displays is not exactly great. An external scaler will definitely do a better job than the scaler that's inside most displays. For not too much money (check online stores), you can get an Anchor Bay Technologies DVDO Edge.

2. Why LED LCD? Or LCD for that matter? Why not plasma? There's no local this that or the other -- plasma is individual addressing, 2 millisecond refresh, no backlight and no color that's "artificial looking" at times.

3. We'll have to disagree about the S-video outputs of the CLD-97 vs CLD-79. Many years ago, there was a thread at AVS Forum on this very subject and the majority of owners gave the edge to the CLD-97 (vs the CLD-79), some even preferring its output over that of the CLD-99's 3D comb filter. There were several sceenshots (using the same movies) in that thread comparing the outputs to show the differences. That said, it could be a taste issue.
