high end progressive scan dvd player

i am looking for a high end progressive scan dvd player. i have done a lot of research and found that many have the chroma bug problem. can anyone suggest a quality player that doesn't have that problem. and is it really that big a problem in the first place. thanks for your help.

i use a mitsubishi rear projection if that matters.

IMO, I would avoid high end dvd players, it seems lke they are comming out with new chips and models all the time, kind of like the computer market, what you buy now will be outdated in a couple of months, also , the new inexpensive players are using the same chips as the more expensive players, I was considering a high end player also, after considerable research I bought a phillips q 50, good luck.

I can't comment of the chroma issue with these...but the Muse 9 sig or Thalia, Camelot, and EAD are all top notch.

I was told by a very honest local dealer that the Kenwood Sovereign DVD player is the best on the market as far as picture quality goes. He explained that Kenwood was somehow able to convince Faroudja to grant them an exclusive one-year contract on their latest video enhancement chips / processors. While you can bet that Kenwood paid big cash for such exclusivity, it may be worth checking into if really hunting for excellent video characteristics. I have no idea as to the sonics of said player or how it works as a transport, as i've never seen or heard one. I couldn't do that at this dealer's shop as he doesn't even sell Kenwood yet he was quite emphatic and enthusiastic as to how good this player was. Like i said, this guy is honest. Sean
