Released January, 2008
Cons
- - Overly simple remote control means you'll need to flip thru tabs of onscreen menu to get to an often-used function.
- Does not remember separate image resizing function for each type of video input, meaning more buttons to push in order to get to the preferred video presentation format (wide, normal, or panaramic. No way to zoom in while maintaining original ratio)
