Hello,

I tried the 2910 about a year ago and thought it was pretty good but not really much better than my Sony ES DVD player so I returned it. My second DVD player for my bedroom broke so now I'm in need of a DVD player. I thought I could skimp and get the 1930CI but it really doesn't look as good as my Sony after a lot of tweaking. I'll probably return it but thought I'd find out how the 2930 compares to the 2910? Anyone here get a chance to compare?

On a small screen -e.g. 35" I don't notice much of a difference but when I go to 65" there is a HUGE difference. I tried both component and HDMI. The pictures look different, but neither comes close to my old Sony after a lot of tweaking however my old Sony is missing a lot of features on the Denon as the 9000es is about 5 years old. The component colors are much more vibrant but the HDMI is more acurate - I realize that isn't because link is necessarily better than the other but it is how they are implemented on a particular model.

I'm hoping the 2930 is better than the 2910 as I hear it is better for burned media but have no idea how it compares picture wise. I've yet to see one review that compares them visually. I've seen some dry spec comparisons but no actual visual comparision. I realize it is subjective but I doubt anyone comparing my old sony to the 1930 would say the 1930 looks better or even as good.
