Denon's new Blu-Ray player

Way too much to pay for marginal improvement. I agree totally with Tvad. Let it settle out.
At least the new cheaper Sony plays CD. Something the original did not.
I have one of each of the Sony's connected to a 46" LCD XBR Sony set and a Sony 40" XBR direct view. Upscaled DVD looks about as good. Kinda a disappointment overall.

It takes a much larger screen to take advantage of high definition. It's funny what people consider too expensive for certain improvements. Some people don't mind spending a whole lot for a power cord or interconnects but balk at paying for real differences.

Denon has TWO Blu-ray players coming out, both were on display @ CEDIA this past week.

Rwear, I agree, you sort or kid yourself thinking 1080p is that much an improvement on a 40" set. Step up to 70'+ and you will be agape!

The other Denon is a transport only model.
There is nothing in the world of audio/video or computers that has staying power. But, I understand your point Tvad.
