Pioneer DV-490V-S Progressive Scan DVD Player with HDMI
Excellent performance at a great price
This is an excellent DVD player for matching with a HD TV. I am using it with a Samsung LNS2651D 26\\" LCD HDTV in my bedroom and I am impressed with the result. I have it coupled with HDMI. This gives the best visual performance by far  and is probably required for 1080i upscaling.  <br /> <br />The player also handles DivX in Home theatre profile (i.e. no support for DivX HD profile,as tested on the material I had) and gives good results. It is supposed to handle MP3 and WMA formats, but I have bought this primarily for video entertainment and have not tested those features. <br /> <br />Startup and loading DVD is a bit slow - takes about 10-15 seconds. <br /> <br />Overall a great purchase for the price from Amazon.
