Best picture from an under $400 DVD player


It has been a while since I posted, but I am back. Hello to everyone!!! Quick question? I just purchased a 50 inch Panasonic plasma screen (TH-50PHD8UK) for a new condo (Yes...for those of you wondering..I did finally use the money from my old system to buy my first place). I am looking for the best picture possible from a DVD player under $400 (and to be honest.. preferably under $300). The audio quality of the DVD player (cover your ears audiophiles) is irrelevant to me as this will only be running through the TV's add on speakers. I am more then willing to buy new or used. Thank you for your suggestions.

Dan

P.S. For those of you wondering..I am now in the D.C. area.

My only concern is that in order to get audio I will have to use a rca to headphone plug (as audio is not transfered via the DVI output). I am curious if that will significantly hinder the sound quality coming from the player. In other words, will I get excess noise using a headphone jack into my TV?

My TV only has a 1/8 jack input for audio when using the DVI board so in order to do audio I will have to go RCA out to the 1/8 inch jack. I spoke with Oppo and they said that iw would work without problem up to roughly 30 feet. I only need a 10 foot run so I am going with the oppo. Here is a link to my DVI board (http://www.plasmaconcepts.com/store/detail_accsry.asp?product_id=AC155).

Thanks for the help.
