I agree 100% with your review. Great unit, except for a few minor things that don't affect the performance. Another minor thing that is annoying is that Video 1 is dedicated to the front panel Video jacks, which I will probably never use. Why use Video 1 for this, especially when one of the DVI inputs is assigned to Video 2? Also, on the remote, Video 1 is the first button in the row, and the easiest to find. Initially I would accidentally/mistakenly hit the Video 1 button on the remote and get no video, and because the display is hard to read, my mistake was not obvious at first.

Once I programmed the 970 into my universal remote, I stopped caring about the Video 1 vs Video 2, small display, and lack of assignability.
