Best DVD Player $2000.00 new or used

I'll throw in my 2 cents worth here,, The meridian 596 is a fantastic player but you have to convert the outputs to standard RCA from BNC. This can be easily done with cables or by buying ends from Radio Shack.

Good luck

I kinda like my Arcam DV-89.

I would buy a 500 DVD player and a Iscan HD. Not only will your DVD playback looks stellar , but your digital TV channels will as well.

I like my EVS tweaked Pioneer DV-47Ai

Goose89, you simply cannot go wrong with the PMDT. It is without equal. As a transport, it is stunning. The depth of subtle detail that this transport can convey simply makes it superior to any transport out there with very few exceptions. I've personally owned other great transports from Theta, EAD and others... but the PMDT is the clear champion.

As a DVD player, it delivers an absolutely beautiful picture (along with its awesome sound). Just make sure you get one with the latest firmware (3.0+). I believe it's up to 3.01. That solved all known issues that had plagued some of the earlier releases. I have yet to come across any issues, new or old.

I've owned Faroudja, Marantz, etc... DVD players. The PMDT is far superior.

The PMDT is the only DVD player or transport that is not based on any pre-existing Pioneer, Sony, Teac, Philips or other major's system, which is the case with all other ultra high-end decks... Theta, EAD, Meridian, etc... The PMDT was built from scratch from the ground up, without any limitations to hamper its capabilities.

Hope this helps.
