Sony DVP-NS700P Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Progressive Scan will be the New Standard
My first DVD player was a first generation Sony player which worked very well indeed. Time marches on. Now Sony (and others) are offering Progressive Scan players that (combined with an HDTV) provide twice the video resolution of non-progressive models. What's not to like? Soon most players will be progressive scan, but it seems to me that Sony stays at the leading edge of electronics development and executes their designs with more precision than other companies. Be sure you get a machine that performs 2:3 (sometimes called 3:2) pulldown as does this Sony. That provides a better picture for DVD's that were made from movies. If you are a movie buff you really want this type of DVD player. Just remember that you need an HDTV to take advantage of it's best features.
