FYI and comments.
Home Theater Magazine conducted a comparison in their June 2008 issue of the video processing sections of six AV receivers ranging in list price from $1300 to $5500. I think anyone possibly considering the use of this receiver function would be interested in this test. Unfortunately, it only compares 6 receivers from four different manufacturers. This would have been even a better test if they would have included more receivers.
It was still very interesting to me. They state in their review:
"Don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because you are paying top dollar for your new AVR, you’re always going to get top-of-the-line video processing from it"
I will not reveal the top place unit but let you read the review for yourself. Just suffice to say that the winner by a very close margin has a list price of only $1700 and rhymes with "Tokyo."
