Re: Best dvd player under $1500.00?

If you are spending the money for a progressive scanning TV then there might be a difference, but more likely than not, the line doubler and image filters in the progressive scan TV will make a bigger difference in the quality of the picture than the player itself. I have a sony 7700, and the primary reason I bought over a cheapie was because it won't fall apart like it's cheaper brethren.


1) if you are watching on an NTSC TV you are primarily buying build quality in your dvd.

2) many DVD's (notably the stanely kubrick collection) are not well mastered. Just as with music, if the movies you want to watch are not well mastered or restored, a better player will not improve the viewing experience.

3) If the movie was pre (1985-6?) it probably doesn't have a surround track. If it was before the 1970's, it probably doesn't have stereo.

an excellent player can't reproduce what's not there.
