All I can say is WOW!!!
The picture is great - it is so near HD quality that it has me in tears-
Got it off of Amazon for $210 shipped and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied-
I had gotten the Denon 1910 a couple of weeks ago - and took it back due to the Macro Blocking and generally poor performance - the Panny is definitely superior in all ways to the Denon-
