Best progressive scan DVD player for under 1500???


Have Toshiba 40H80 HD ready 16X9 rear projection tv, and am wondering if someone could recommend the best quality (picture first) DVD player to use with progressive scan output! I don't want to spend more than the TV for a player (tv was $2500 new). How about the Pioneer DV37??? Toshiba's???...Sony's???...other? I think I want a player that passes below black level IRE 0???..any suggestions, comments????

Hello Zexxtool:

I have three recommendations for a "progressive scan" DVD player, and they are ALL under $2K. And they are:

(01). Pioneer Elite DV-38A -- $1,800.00
(02). Sony DVP-S9000ES -- $1,500.00
(03). Toshiba SD-9200 -- $1,900.00

And by the way, the Pioneer Elite DV-37 is very nice too. I happen to own one. I had mine going on five months now, and I am using mine with a analog/interlaced Panasonic CT-27SF37 Direct-View TV, and I couldn't be happier. If you want get a killer picture out of your brand new Toshiba 40HD80, and don't want to spend no more than $1,000.00 (and I paid $700.00 for my player), the Pioneer Elite DV-37 is a great way to go.

Let us know which player you decide to go with. Good Luck.
