DVDO iScan HD Review - Audiofile Audition (April 2005) "It was nice to plug something in easily, push a couple of buttons, and have it work 100%. ... It can be utilized with just about any display, will handle any type of standard definition programming you throw at it (including videotape), is built nicely, and worked flawlessly for the couple months I had it in use. It handily outperformed the processing in a $9000 plasma monitor, and considering the price, is highly recommended."
