it's been a long time, since I last posted anything here, but it is time to ask for your help. I'm coming from a harman kardon dvd25 and have now got the panasonic s97. there is one problem with both players and the MB-problem only on the s97. the MB is quite visible on both the panasonic pw6 and on the sharp ga4. BOTH players show a very bad "banding" on certain animated films - "brother baer" and "jungle book 2" being the worse and are to me nearly unwatchable ( this "banding" appears as "zebra stripes" for instance on the baers themselves; on their bellies or their arms). I've always thought, that "contouring" is the problem I'm seeing, but I'm certain, that the contouring I can see on "nemo" in some of the water scenes is very different from what I've described earlier. after much consideration and reading of the "secrets of home theater" I am now considering the denon 3910. can anyone in this forum confirm that it would be a much better player than the s97 (which is not bad at all) or is only the 5910 going to resolve the issues I seem to have with my current dvd-player. having collected over 500 region 1 dvds I have now found a brilliant display in the sharp lcd (the pw6 had to go). I feel I now need the dvd-player to match - which one is it???
many thanks
