Panasonic DVD-S35K Ultra Slim Progressive Scan DVD
And this costs how little!
We've already got 3 DVD players at home.  A 4 year old Onkyo DVD changer, a 3 year old Toshiba, and one of those portable Panasonic DVD players.  Well the Onkyo went on the fritz, and I decided to replace it with a progressive scan single disc player, since we have an HDTV and the picture is supposed to be better.<br />Last time I checked progressive scan DVD players ran $... and up, yet here is the Panasonic on Amazon[.com] for under $.  Well the price is right and the product is incredible.  The picture quality is very impressive, definitely better than the old Onkyo.  Plus the features are better as well.<br />Zoom is much better with complete flexibility  to zoom to any level, not just a few presets.  No signs of any artifacts or digital pixelation that I've occasionally seen on my other players. Very smooth transition during DVD layer changes, and excellent sound over my stereo.  Plus this player is absolutely skinny!<br />It has all the outputs you would expect for video and audio(except perhaps audio coax, but I think the industry has committed to optical).  Operation is simple, and my kids have no problem using it.<br />No way you can beat this for the money.  I say go ahead and make the purchase.
