recommend Progressive-scan DVD players?


Please give me your thoughts/opinions on Progressive-scan DVD players that you've had experience with? What's the best value? I'd prefer one without a decoder built in. Any comments please also on some of them advertised as "progressive-scan" and not actually so? Thanks for your thoughts!

Sorry I missed the action JT. Been busy negotiating the latest upgrade, and my work slows down to a crawl in the summer, so I've been layin' low. Sounds, most of the pricier progressive scan models can do 3/2 pull down. The less expensive Pioneer doesn't, although it is called progressive scan by a technicality. Make sure before you buy. The Pioneer DV-37 is very good, the 9000ES is excellent, the Roundtable is tops, unless you have an extra 12 grand.
I have extended experience with only one progressive-scan DVD player, the Pioneer Elite DV-37. I think it is an excellent value, with high quality video, and audio quality that is better than the Rega Planet CD player I sold. I bought my DV-37 for $650 new, and would be glad to provide you with the name of the dealer if you drop me a private E-mail.

How much money you want to spend?? Because I have recommendations at almost every price level. And they are:

Entry-Level (for less than $500.00): Toshiba SD-4700

Intermediate (for less than $1,000.00): Pioneer Elite DV-37 (I have one. I bought mine locally, for $700.00. So far, I haven't been disappointed)

High-End (for $1,500.00 to $2,000.00): Onkyo DV-S939, Pioneer Elite DV-38A, Sony DVP-S9000ES and the Toshiba SD-9200

Ultimate (for more than $2,000.00): Camelot Roundtable

Those are my recommendations at the various price points right now.

Good Luck.....

Hi ya Martin! The HT is doing fine. Thanks for all your help a while back. Am currently waiting for Roger(Sanders at Innersound) to send me his first proto of his new center channel until the production models are ready. Hope you have been well. My best,
Hi Angela, best regards. I'm enjoying my Sony DVP-9000ES very much, but my TV keeps shutting of for days, and when the serviceman comes ...voila! it works again, happened twice. I'll find that bug and squash it sooner or later. Gotta run, Sounds,go for it!
