I own a Sammy 42' DLP and have a 3 year old progressive scan Panasonic DVD player (S35--component hookup). I bought the new Sony DVP-NC85H HDMI DVD player and honestly, the picture was no better.

Is there a DVD player aside from the new HD DVD that is going to give me a better picture on my DLP than what I have? Is the Panny S97 or S77 that much better?

Thanks in advance-

you should look into a pioneer dvd player, they have very good picture quality. you will also get a much better soundstage with a pioneer than with your panny, IMO.

Panasonic players have good picture quality. You aren't going to get a significant difference without going to an upconverting player or HD-DVD.

I have to disagree with the suggestion for Pioneer. They have not produced any DVD player that could compete with even the Panasonic players. The 77 or 97 are two of the best HDMI performers in their price range and are highly recommended.

Sony could not make a DVD player if a Denon employee dropped the 5900 plans on their desk.

Rubbish. Pioneer models are one of the best, even high-end models from other brands such as marantz, Arcam, and even Denon have (and do) use OEM pioneer components for their models rather then delevoping their own.

Andrew,

Unfortunately, the quality of a DVD player is determined by the amount of work put into implementing the video processors after they are purchased from the major chip mfgs like Sage\Forudjia\Silicon Optics\etc. Pioneer does not excel at this or does not do the R&D required to do it right. Their best performing player is the DV 59AVi and it sells for US$1,600 retail. This is not considered a deal and is still not able to compete video quality wise with many other players costing far less.
