Sony DVPNS725P Progressive-Scan DVD/CD Player
Sony NS725P - a real disappointment!
While this player looks good physically, has a nice remote, and some nice features like the DVD jacket display during stop mode - I found it has terrible 3:2 pulldown for film mode.  I checked it using several movies:  Monsters Inc. (which looked incredible), but films like Forrest Gump, Sweet Home Alabama, The Matrix, and Fellowship of the Ring looked so bad compared to my Toshiba SD-4700, I had to take the Sony back.  The picture looked overprocessed with noticeable artifacts to the point I couldn't even watch it.  Especially tried the lobby scene in the Matrix - all the marble made a dizzying effect of inaccuracies on the screen.  I really liked the player overall, and the video mode looked great, but film mode was just too bad to bear.  I'm going to try the Toshiba SD-3900 next, which should be comparable to my 4700.  Wouldn't recommend this for a serious home theater lover.
