Can someone explain this 'chroma bug' to me? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I know that it somehow incorrectly displays colors, and that a lot of players have it, including the Toshiba 4700 which I was about to purchase. I guess my question is, to what extent is this a problem, and why are they still releasing DVD players with this so-called 'bug'?

First read this:

(this talks about progressive scan vs interlacing)

then this special report:

(this discussed the chroma bug specifically)

Peace.....

Probably beacuse the chips that have the chroma bug are cheap.
