  All it means is YPbPr component video. There is nothing special about Colorstream (interlaced component) or ColorstreamPro (progressive component), except for the names that Toshiba gave them.

  If you have a DVI or HDMI input, I'd check out the upcoming (September) Panasonic DVD-S97 (HDMI) or Denon DVD3910 (DVI and HDMI). You can also check out the Bravo D2 (DVI) and Momitsu V880 (DVI).

  If you just have component inputs, I'd suggest getting a refurbished Denon DVD1600 from www.dakmart.com ($290) or a refurbished DVD2900 from www.ecost.com ($650).

  Below is a link that will help you out with DVD player info. If you just click on "Get Results", it will bring up all of the DVD players they have tested. If you really want to torture yourself, click on the links at the bottom of their page (Part 1 - Video and Part 5 - Progressive Scan).

    I have recently become quite interested in DVD playback lately. The Tosh is a very good RPTV and I mainly bought it a number of years ago for sports broadcasts. I watched a movie here or there but my interest is now peaked.

    The RPTV allows components inputs, no DVI. I'll check the link you supplied and go from there.

    I'm also looking for some info on what DVD movies folks feel are a reference when it comes to picture quality. Perhaps you may have a link where I can get some opinions on that.
