Prices are at what DVDS were a few years ago. Why deprive yourself? We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

I got my daily email from newegg this morning and in it is a Toshiba Blu-ray player for $50. You sound like one of those people who want everything for free.

barryb	Comments on AVs look very promising also. It looks like a winner. Thanks for the link.

So you're saying that Sony has *finally* undone all the built-in video flaws that *all* their other BDPs have? [I have one now and have had other Sony BDPs.] Gotta see this...I don't for a second believe it though.

We'll see what the pros say, these flaws are measurable for those who can't see them - there's a huge range of display capability/setup = another problem for casual reviews from unknowns (least to me).

How good is the zoom, pan, and single-frame?, posted on May 24, 2012 at 11:23:34

Even though I've got 4 other things connected that can play (and upscale) DVDs, I still use the Sony DVP-NS75H HDMI DVD player because nothing else is as good for zooming in to see more details, or single-framing to see how an effect was done. The only quibble is the zoom steps are too coarse; there's no zoom level that's suitable for "un-windowboxing" a non-anamorphic DVD.

So, I'm curious how well (or if) this Sony Blu-ray player implements those features.
