----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
The biggest complaint about the HL-R models has been that you can't
turn of the DNIe processing. Fortunately, people have figured out
how to do so. DIY folks can research it at the AVS Forum and most
ISF calibrators should be able to handle it no problem.
I would still prefer the HL-P's for some other minor reasons, but I
do now recommend the HL-R's (with the DNIe disabled).
