Just picked up the same blu-ray player from amazon. Along with a 1080p 60" DLP that I got for a pretty good deal from BB. I can't wait till they finally get delivered. Congrats on the buy BTW.

Regarding LCD screens have a tendency to blur images, that was true for older generation (higher pixel response) LCD screens. On newer models it is almost negligible. Just as negligable as the "burn in" issues on Plasma now.
Viewing angles are also siginificantly better on newer LCD sets now. Regarding life expectancy, it is reassuring to know you will most likely get 60,000 plus hours with an LCD. Great point to consider if you are looking for a work horse TV in the well lit family room that the kids are going to punish. |

I have never noticed any blurring on my Sony Bravia. But yes I have seen it on other sets. Plasma verse LCD - two different types cause one is not perfect for everyone. I tend to pause what I am watching quite often - sometimes for an hour or so. I also have my computer hooked up to it - can't do that with a Plasma. So really each person needs to decide what's best for them. That said - once the basement is remodeled I will buy a Plasma for that room. Lighting will be lower, no computers hooked up to it - no games connected to it. Ron |

BTW, LCD's should last longer than 60k and plasma are way above that marker for half life now. if anyone is still wanting to learn more i'd highly recommend avsforum. i've been a member there for more than a few years now. current setup denon 1909 klipsch rf-82's klipsch rc-62 klipsch rs-52 klipsch R-2650-C Epik Castle sub Gik acoustic panels and a few bass traps Pioneer 5010 samsung bdp-1500 (won it at work ![]() |

I just flat don't like them for a whole bunch of reasons. I'd rather have a tube when it gets right down to it. It's a matter of preference, I suppose. I say that because I wouldn't have an ED plasma, either. It looks like I'm watching tv through a screen door. I can't tell a quality difference between most plasmas, although some dlp's really suck. All my tv's (2hd plasmas and one dlp, all toshiba) have "cable clear" software that cleans up bad cable signals beautifully. Even the worst channels look decent. At this point I'm a full throttle Toshiba fanboi, but they've earned it. They're good stuff. If it weren't for Toshiba I'd definately have Samsungs because I like their picture, too. I've heard wonderful things said about Panasonic but I just don't like their picture the way I like Toshiba and Samsung. Samsung stuff is a lot more expensive or I'd have bought them in the first place.

![]() How do you like the 1909? I have the 3808CI upstairs and was looking at the 2808CI or the 1909 which I really like also for the downstairs. I joined AVForums a while back when trying to figure out some programing on the 3808 but never posted the question(s). My electrician (certified Denon dealer/installer who I bought it through) stopped by to help and went through my whole setup for me. But I have done a whole ton of reading there over - boat load of info. Ron |

i love it, dynamic volume is great for everyday TV watching. i got a great deal on the unit at the time from an online dealer and it was like 25$ over cost as a promotion. way more than enough to run my high sensitivity speakers. |

You can get a 988 or 2808 for about 50 more than the 1909 and it is a FAR superior piece of equipment than the 1909 (Burr-Brown DAC's, etc). The only advantage the 1909, or any of the 9 series may have, is Dynamic volume which the 8 series didn't have. For me the 988 was a better choice. |
