I have the Pioneer CLD-D925, CLD-2950, LD-V4300D.

I could agree with the previous posts:

CLD-D925 has a more "digital" picture but I must admit not so "undetailed" as the others wrote - you could notice it only in direct comparisons. Leave the HQ setting OFF everytime!

CLD-2950 has practically the same video quality, but more "analog". Avoid it ONLY if you want AC3 and can't find a modified one (or can't modify yourself)

LD-V4300D seems to have the most detailed picture. I have to test the BNC out, because I suspect (as wrote by laserman) it delivers a more pure video signal. I'll test ASAP

I can add also that the Pioneer DVL-909 (LD/DVD combi) has the same quality of the CLD-D925.

The Pioneer CLD-600 has no "digital frills" inside so could *maybe* has a better picture.

I tested all (except the CLD-600) via S-video with my Philips SAA-713x based capture card. I also made some test using the player composite out passed on my Pioneer DVR-320S (that, "accidentally" has a 3D Y/C comb filter - by the way, I think it works only for NTSC, for PAL it may have a simpler 4 or 5 line filter) and from it to the capture card via S-video.

I captured the CLD-600 via composite, but DScaler doesn't "see" my composite input directly so I captured it via DShow - but the quality lacks, I think because the different settings of the DShow filter. So I passed the composite to the DVR-320S and the difference is HUGE.

I'll post the pictures soon in another post - STAY TUNED!
