Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Price plus feature set can't be beat
If you are looking for a solid, entry-level progressive scan player it's hard to go wrong at this price. Add in the ability to play a wide variety of video and audio disc formats and the value is undisputable. This is much more than a bare-bones player. Just in case it's not absolutely clear from the product description, be aware that you do need an HDTV (or progressive-scan enabled TV) to take full advantage of this unit's capabilities. But don't let that stop you. When you do purchase that HDTV you'll be ready to go.
