This was a review regarding the denon 988 I found on circuitcity.com: "This receiver works great with HDMI components. It has an excellent video processing chip not found in most others. I have a sony XBR4 LCD TV and this receiver made a big difference with my picture clarity. It also pushes my bose speakers better than my Onkyo 805 does. Very expensive but worth every penny for me." Just made me chuckle. Thought I would share.
