I know this was probably discussed before, but I cannot find it:

We have SXRD Sony 60 inch and I am considering Oppo, which would be the 971 with the Faroujda chip. Here are the questions:

1. Will I see a significant improvement in standard definition DVDs?

2. Will the new HD players (BluRay or HD-DVD)produce significant improvement on standard definition DVDs.

Where this is leading is that I would think it wise to wait and not waste $$ if #2 scenario will suffice for both HD and standard Def DVDs.

3d question: Considering that we get an Oppo 971 and when Blu Ray or whatever is bought, nove the Oppo to a standard def TV, will the picture be OK.

THanks guys.
