Nathanziarek:
If you can stretch your budget a little bit (say..... about $200.00), you can opt for the Philips Q50 (retails for $500.00). Delivers a very nicely detailed picture (almost filmlike....... like my Pioneer Elite DV-37), and a very nice sound as well. It has 12/54 video processing and a Faroudja chip, and a zoom feature as well (for looking at widescreen DVDs on a 4:3 display), all for $500.00. Could very well be the ideal budget DVD Player.
Or, if your budget can only go as far as $300.00??? Then, like Mryaj just said, look at the Panasonic RP-56 (for $200.00), or a Toshiba SD-2800 (also for $200.00. ..... and both of them are available at Best Buy).
Or more yet, if you are lucky, when I take possession of a new Marantz 8260 SACD Player, it will replace my Pioneer Elite DV-37 as the CD Player in my audio system, and then the Pioneer Elite DV-37 will return to my home theater setup, which means then that my Toshiba SD-2700 will be expendable. If and when that finally happens, I will be letting my Toshiba SD-2700 go for dirt cheap.
Just some more ideas to throw out to you.
And my $.02 as well.
