Panasonic DVD-S52S DVD Player
good dvd player
I bought this dvd player thinking it should be quality product. At a good price I didnt second guess myself.  I have had good luck with Panasonic dvd players.  My first one I bought back in 1997 when they first started becoming popular It was over $300.  That old player still works flawlessly.   <br /> <br />I purchased this dvd player along with my new 50 inch screen rear projection lcd t.v.  I hooked it up through HDMI cables.  I watched The Incredibles first , being that I have kids.  I thought the movie looked good on regular tv but this was not only bigger but better overall picture than my old 32 inch.  My kids now call this my Movie theater.  I have watched a lot of computer animated movies and they all look as if I am watching a real movie screen. Very impressed with picture of most movies. There are some movies that dont look as good but definatley not bad picture. <br />   As far as the upconversion I didnt see a big difference from 480p, 720p, and 1080i, I keep it set at 720p and this work fine for all movies.  I find it pretty easy to jump from one setting to another. <br /> <br />  Overall I think I could not be happier, dvd movies look good, not too complicated to operate. On a side note, I think watching sports in HI DEF is the best way to take advantage of this technology.  Movies look real good but nothing like watching outdoor game on Sunday. <br />
