I'll have to check, but I don't think my 768p Pioneer does 1:1 pixel mapping and it wouldn't matter if the 997/Reon didn't output at that resolution. Before I bought the Pioneer I was looking at a 768p Panasonic display and the ABT/DVDO vp20 because the vp20 could output at 768p and the Panasonic was 1:1 capable. Cost became a big issue real quick.

I wonder if the 997 could output at 768p? There are a lot of us 768ers out there. I imagine the processing done by the display to take a 720p signal to 768p is relatively minor but it still would be a very nice feature.

One other thing, does the SO Reon support automatic/continuous lip sync? Lip sync has to be one of the most annoying problems and really detracts from HD TV. At times it feels like I'm watching an old Godzilla movie! This feature alone might put me on the 997 waiting list.
