AR series shares the same chassis as DR series but couldn't take progressive scan signal. Thinking about the yesteryear era of TV technology. Of course, it has component input for interlaced, NOT PROGRESSIVE, scan.
For regular TV viewing, it's just OK as the comb filter is a regular 2D digital, at best.
It's good for those who likes Sony picture style, ie bright and crisp, and still have interlaced only DVD player. Otherwise, pass this one for other progressive ready TV, IMHO.
