Yeah, I wish we were talking about extraneous stuff like "soundfields"...but I and I think many of the people in this forum gave up on that sort of thing 15 years ago or more though. We are talking about HDMI capability (including decoding modern formats over it) and video processing*. And then from there you can throw in other nice-to-haves like room correction (something Outlaw itself has been talking about for a couple of years...I have been really just hoping to get sub-eq as part that). NBRQLou has a point.

*I was originally more towards the camp of "why combine video and audio processing into the same device?", but it is hard to resist at this point. In my simple two-room HDMI distribution system, my home theater has become the weak point from a video point of view(!). 'Granted there are other things I could do about that, but I would like to get my HT caught-up by upgrading my 990 (at a reasonable price point) to get everything harmonious again.
