Toshiba SD-3950 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Great value
I have always favored Toshiba DVD players over all others, mainly due to their superior black reproduction.  Black level expansion and PLUGE realy make a difference on any TV.  The dialogue enhancer on this model is very effective, and the ability to play just about anything you throw in it is fantastic.  You can pay more for a player, but I doubt you would get one significantly better than this.
