Jimbill, just curious why you're considering a Blu-Ray player given that your Panasonic won't display 1080p? Would you consider an improved "standard-def" DVD player like an Oppo model?

I guess I don't know any better. Looking for advice.
I've got to buy a new player so I thought I'd upgrade to the newest technology while I was at it.
So blu-ray would be a waste of time until I get a new TV?
Upgrading to the newest technology, at an affordable price, would be the way to go...except that your display is the sticking point. For me, the current price of blu-ray DVDs would dictate against buying a blu-ray player unless I already owned at 1080p TV. Your upgrade plans would depend in part on how much you are prepared to spend.
Maybe I should just go with something like the Pioneer DV 410V for now. It got good reviews and can be had for $85.
Much cheaper and I'm not thinking of replacing the TV anytime soon.
Your thoughts?
Just to ensure clarity: the Blu-Ray player will do a fine job of displaying standard-def DVD, and the price of the player is dropping. So if you're in no rush to play Blu-Ray DVDs, you can buy the Blu-Ray player or a standard-def player. There are players which can upscale the signal from 480 to 720p, providing an improved image.
