Sony DVP-NS90V HDMI/SACD 1080i Upscaling DVD Player
The BEST DVD player under $200 with upscale/HDMI/SACD
I just picked one of these up yesterday.  So far, I'm ABSOLUTELY satisfied with what comes in the package.  Right out of the box, I noticed how well this thing is built.  More metal than plastic like the other DVD players. <br /> <br />Setup took me less than 20 minutes.  I used a HDMI connection to my Pioneer plasma 4350HD and used the optical connection to my Sony AV Receiver for the 5.1 sound.  I popped in several new (e.g. Constant Gardner) and older DVDs (e.g., Jurassic Park) and was truly impressed by the upscaling.  Unlike other reviews, I didn't notice the \\"shifting\\" that they mentioned but again I'm just a casual DVD movie watcher.  Picture quality was astounding.  You can REALLY see the difference when going from 480 to 720/1080. <br /> <br />Listening to SACD on this unit was magic to my ears!!!  What a bonus. <br /> <br />Although the unit doesn't come with an HDMI cable (like the Panasonic), I'd personally rather purchase a separate (better quality) HDMI cable rather than a \\"cheapy\\" that most manufacturers would have provided. <br /> <br />Unlike the other reviewers, I personally like the silver color and so does my wife.
