curtis,
RayJack - that's funny!
Even the 2910 and 3910 can be bit finicky about burned DVDs. I might suggest that you try and use Taiyo Yuden DVD-R media (available from Rima - outstanding etailer). TY is simply the best out there from a media/reliability perspective.
As far as the picture thing goes, the 2910 is a bit sharper, the colors don't "pop" quite as much and the picture is a bit more 2 dimensional. Nothing wrong with it, it's just the difference in the chips. I'm guessing you haven't done the Avia/calibration thing yet. It helps.
The other nice thing about the 2900 is it's speed. NO layer change delay is noticeable and the menus are fast as well.
Give us a review when you are calibrated, setup and experienced!
