By all accounts the Silicon Optix chips are a couple of the best out there. I see Anchor Bay is the next big thing and that Oppo uses them in their top line players. I also suspect that the next rendition of the 38XX series will have a better video processor in it, although with everything moving to HD will it even be needed.
This is the kind of comment that brings my questioning in the post above. With MY WD-73734 DLP (HD1080P24) and BD 55, do I need to care if my AVR has a Faroudja, Reon or Silicon Optix chip in it. Does the Deaf Monk have an answer to (this apparent unanswerable) question?
{... goes off to contemplate navel in hopes to get this answer from 'higher sources'...}
Edit: Oh, I guess you mean the video sources (cable, over air, satellite) changing eventually to all HD (not just digital) signals. Would this be a way down the road thing until technology creates huge increases in bandwidth capacity than is currently available?
