Good mini-review Dobeman.

I agree with you about not being able to use the menu on the lcd screen on the 990. Maybe they can software upgrade that for people who don't have 480i capabilities. It's a pain having to run an s video cable to my projector just to change the crossover or something.

Also, I agree about the AM/FM tuner. Its much better than the 950's. I find myself leaving it on AM sports talk while playing XBOX. With the 950 it was always a little too noisy to use it for an extended period of time while the 990's tuner is very clean.
