Good Evening..
I am looking for opinions, mostly from other members who have a similar Television, on rather It would be worth upgrading my 910 with the 2910. Last year when I was shopping for speakers, a receiver and a Sub, the wonderful members of this board helped me out and I ended up with one sweet system. I thank everybody for that. So, I thought I would get some thoughts about my current dilema. I have been told that I will not see a difference because of the type of TV I have. Then tonight I read a post from somebody with a MITS. and they said they could definitely see a difference and it was well worth the upgrade. Anyways, any help would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff.

First, the key point - upgrades are ALWAYS required . The 910 is a nice entry level unit and moving up the line will pay audio and video benefits for you.

I was in the same quandry a couple of months ago. I was looking at 2910 vs. 3910. Then I started to do some research over at the AVS Forum "DVD Players" and a few other places. This brought the 2900 up on my radar screen.

I'll just give you some snippets here, and urge you to go over the AVS and do a bit of research, searching on the 2900 and 2910. I chose the 2900 (and am extremely pleased) for the following reasons:
1) The 2900 uses the Silicon Image chip vs. the 2910 Faroujda chip. The SI chip is better for film based material (film-like smoothness, colors jump out, 3D like). Faroujda is a bit too sharp. Also, side by side, my eyes told me the 2900 picture was better than the 2910.

2) The audio DACS in the 2900 are much better than the 2910 and almost equal the 3910.

3) The 2910 is built like a tank, the 2910 is like a jeep. Roughly, he 2910 equates to the 2200 and the 3910 equates to the 2900.

4) The 2900 is a $1,000 MSRP. Crutchfield had (and still has) the 2900 reduced to $699. About the same price as the 2910, but a better unit. Also, Crutchfiel has an outlet store (that's where I got mine) and a scratch & dent store. If you ar epatient, you can save another $75 - $125 looking there.

Don't get me wrong. The 2910 is a good unit. User reviews support that. I just want to make you aware of the 2900 and the great opportunity it presents right now.
