Pioneer DV-696 ..first impression
went from a JVC all region progressive scan which was pretty decent to a Pioneer 696 all region with upconversion, sacd, dvda, etc....
the pic actually looks worse on my plasma on this unit going via HDMI then the JVC did going through component ..very grainy and darker with very reddish skin tones to boot

I think Josh's point is that you have to recalibrate for the new player. They look different, doesn't mean they are necessarily worse, just need new calibration to look correct.

are you going HDMI directly to your tv?
are you going hdmi to your receiver and then to your tv?
if you have the plasma hooked into an input you have not used, it may be uncalibrated.
until i got my new receiver, i had everything hooked into separate inputs on my tv and had to calibrate each input differently.
