With or without chroma upsampling bug? Something to keep in mind before deciding to go with it.-- Greg

The 700 still has the chroma upsampling bug.Regards,
It boggles my mind that they can't get this right. I was going to buy the new Sony S9000ES unit to replace my S7000 player, but I couldn't bring myself to pay for a player that one, had the upsampling bug, and two, didn't have a state of the art deinterlacer. For only $400 to $500, I guess it's easier to tolerate minor problems - never having seen the chroma problem, I can't really quantify it based on my own experiences...the S7000 is the only other unit (besides Panasonic and Panasonic based players) that does not have the problem.Speaking of deinterlacers, the Faroudja (sp?) is supposedly something special. Available in the Skyworth now, and hopefully others soon.

Incorrect. JVC doesn't have the problem either, and they use the mediamatics chipset.Regards,
