I own the DV-59AVi and am perfectly happy with it. I use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the DVI input on my Samsung HLN617W and use the 720p upconversion output from the 59AVi to the Samsung - great picture. Have not tried the DVD-A or SACD yet.
There are many postings at www.avsforum.com that say the 59AVi does not have the chroma bug, and many more postings comparing it to the 5900.
