Is it worth buying a piece of gear with the DCDI chip?
When we bought our TV we were told it contained the chip. After more research it doesn't. I have the chance to exchange it for the the model above which contains the chip. This is an LCD tv.
Should I ?

Worth it if you are using the TV to deinterlace. Not worth it if your DVD player does it better.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

My other question:
My current one has a refresh rate of 18ms, the newer one has 8ms. Does anyone think I will notice a difference? -
What is the $ difference for you to upgrade? How big is this TV?

32" LCD,
I purchased my original on sale new price dif is 100$ but onsale dif $400. SO I would have to cough up and extra 400$ -
Probably not worth it then, because you could by a Faroudja DVD player for that $ or less, which could be used with any TV.

So keep the TV, avoid having to pack it, drive in a snow storm. Leave well engough alone !!
My wife will be happy to hear this.
Thanks guys.
