Toshiba SD-5970 DVD Player with HDMI
Absolutely wonderfull!
In 3 months, I've been through 1 Harman Kardon dvd22, 1 HK dvd31, 1 Sony upconverter dvd, the upconverting Samsung 841 (absolute garbage), and the Toshiba 5970 one so far is the best one I've had hooked up to my Sony HD 34\\" XBR960. The HK22 had beautiful color, great audio processor (Wolfson), but no upconversion and won't play SACD's. The HK31 had the same and did play SA's, but no upconversion. Sony had poor colorand no HDMI cable (they're $120 everywhere), Samsung was trash-grainy picture w/ artifacts, extremely poor audio and unresponsive remote. The Toshiba has beautiful color, flawless picture in upconversion, beautiful audio completely equal to the HK's, comes WITH the HDMI cable, which the Sony and Samsung did not. The 5970's looks even matche my HK AVR630 receiver! This product is worth twice what I paid for it and is cheaper than the Samsung @ Circuit City and BestBuy. <br /> <br />Superficial as it is, unattractive remote--but I just programmed the Toshiba's codes into my universal. <br />
