Mark,
If you want to spend around $500-600, I'd recommend the Denon 2800 DVD player. If you want a very good picture for an absurdly low price, check out a Panasonic-RP56 DVD player. I think it has the same video chip-set as the Denon. And you can get it for about $220 new at Best Buy. The only negative about it is that is only has an optical digital-output.
Check out a number of players at Secrets of Home Theatre. I've found it to be an excellent resource. Here's the link: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/main.html
You'll definitely want a Progressive Scan model for your HDTV and both of those mentioned are that. The SOHT link has a very good comparison review on several progressive scan players including the Denon and Panasonic.
Good Luck!
