Thanks, Gonk. I'm very happy with my 990s audio performance and just wondered if the 980H's audio performance would sway me to purchase the 980H versus the 981HD.

The issue of video processors keeps popping up because I think they will become more prevalent in new pre/pro and receivers. And maybe in Outlaw's next flagship pre/pro too? Many of the larger companies (Denon, Onkyo) have already gone the way Anthem paved with their AVM50 and D2.

So my question is whether I purchase a more expensive TV with better video processing (and subjectively better picture quality) or get an excellent monitor type TV and that I can enhance as some time with a new pre/pro that has video processing built in? That is my dilema.
