Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Couldn't ask for anything more
I can't imagine asking for anything more than this, unless you're a really serious video/audiophile.  I've had no problems with the player, it looks great on my little 19\\" tube-tv, sounds great channeled through my little shelf stereo system.  And from what I've heard, it's a fine compliment to the newest in plasma tv technology and digital surround home theater audio.  Sure, for the advertised features you could pay less, but you know what that would mean?  A pointless gamble on some lousy Apex, Norcent, or Cyberhome machine when you could wait another week or two, pay $$ or $$ more, and get an inarguably reliable, stable machine that will not be made obselete for some time indeed.
