Best Projector/DVD combination


I'm looking for the best LCD Projector and Progressive-Scan DVD Player configuration, for around US$ 15,000. Does the progressive scan output works with the LCD Projector as fine as it works with plasma tvs? Can anyone indicate me some equipment (projector and DVD Player)? My Pre-Amp is the Lexicon MC-1.

Thunders is absolutely correct. I have seen the Camelot Roundtable, and it is the best DVD player yet,
(excluding the Ayre). I have the Sony 9000ES, and it is truly excellent,( I have owned 8 or 9 DVD players to date) but paired with the Sony projector will present you with the Red Chroma problem inherent in all DVD players using the Genesis chip. I believe the Roundtable has CD upsampling as well.
Thunders, I think it's the DVDO version II. We are getting close to what people really need, an all format player, with 5 channel capability with digital and analogue outs, that automatically follows the video flags enabling an automatic switch between 480i/480p without the current Genesis chip. Camelot would probably have made a second generation DVD player addressing J.T's issues by now ,but their player is based on the Panasonic A-110, and they are not in limitless supply, so they will run out of a source machine. The Panasonic didn't have the red chroma problem either.
Flavio, The new Denon DVD player (2800?) uses the DVDO chip, and can be had for under $700, but I would go with the Sony 9000ES as I did, unless you have, or plan to get a projector soon. The 9000ES has a gorgeous filmlike picture on my Toshiba HDTV through the progressive scan out, and shows no sign of any problem other than occasionally falling out of prog. scan for a second or two when a DVD flag is missing. The red chroma problem is said to show up on a really big screen. It is there on smaller screens, but I haven't noticed it yet. CD playback is good enough to make me forget about a high end player for CDs, I listen to a Delios, Purcell, with a Theta transport a lot, and I would put the Sony up against it any time.The SACD is just a great bonus in my opinion. The player would be worth it's price without it.
