Slightly OT - Reviewing HMC-150 Projects

I just got a new HDTV and Blu-Ray player for the playroom. It's a Panasonic TCP50-G10 and BDP60 Blu-Ray player (on sale at B&H).

I have to say this combination plays back SD widescreen HMC-150 projects far-far better than the other 2 HDTV systems I have and had been reviewing the projects on. It's really a big difference.

I think we all knew the playback devices have a lot to do with what you see on the screen, but I never knew there could be such a wide variation. I guess the scalers and filters are moving ahead on the newer models. It has certainly cut back noise, artifacts and especially flicker.

Also, the SDHC slot on both the player and the TV play back the SDHC card straight out of the HMC-150. Kinda nice.
 
Yeah, my Grandmother past away in Sept. and we have her 42" sharp aquos from about 3 years ago. When I use the HDMI in it's noisy as hell. Component is great.

Seems to be the TV cause when I hook up my HMC150 to the HDMI on my 22" Full HD monitor it is noise free.

My friend is looking fora 50" plasma, and the reviews on both your TV and the higher end V10 version are excellent, so I just emailed those models to him.
 
BTW I just got a panasonic 42" S1 plasma as a christmas present to myself, and the hmc footage looks better than anything I've watched it on yet, and my DV stuff looks great too. Yay for new TV's!
