There is a ProScan version of this set which I have seen a demo.
The source that was used was dvd, progressive scan. Picture was stunning. I was told that the unit resized 4.3 to 16.9 so there would be no 'bars.' I don't know if that is true. The salesperson did not have in-depth information.

The proscan was about $3K and I could have had the floor model for $2.6K. They were pushing. I asked if they were moving these units and was told they are very slow sellers. I may go back and buy the demo. Still doing research.
