Pull the trigger?

I've been lurking for quite a whice and have spent the last 3 days researching and have put together my new front-projection system. Any suggestions regarding stupid choices or recommended upgrades (or downgrades appreciated).

Thanks

Tom

The AE900 is a no brainer.

An adequate screen for your budget. The AE900 will have no problem with the size.

The Oppo is a good match with the AE900. I use it with my NEC HT1100. I would order it directly from Oppo, however. Fast shipping and you will be assured that the latest firmware has already been installed.

No better or worse than any other mainstream reciever at that price point. It will do an adequate job.

I'm a Hsu fan myself.

Question for your guys. I have a Hitachi LCD RPHDTV and it is my understanding that it's native format is 720P. If I understand correctly any signal, be it 1080i, or 480i or p, etc., will be converted to 720P on my set.

With this in mind, would it make a difference with my set if the DVDP upconverts or not? It seem it wouldn't matter.

BTW, I get better results running my current DVDP (Sony DVP NS999ES) at

480i. When I set it to 480P the picture is not as good?
