You may have noticed that we have changed the look and feel of this latest shootout. If you have not yet read the Guide to the Progressive Scan Shootouts, then please do so before continuing. If you do not read the guide before hand, you may not understand the new system. We have also worked hard to move over the previous shootouts to the new look. You can now view all shootouts at once.

We also recommend you read the latest updates to Part 5 of the DVD Benchmark and the Chroma Upsampling Error.
