Pioneer 440 or 444 DVD


I've decided to buy a Pioneer DVD player and have it modified. I'm not sure if I should get a progressive scan player(444). My TV is a Sony XBR 200 which will not accept pscan. I will have this TV for at least 5 more years. I'm more apt to get a HDTV boxtop in a year or two and want to know if the boxtops would allow me to input a pscan signal?

I bought a Pioneer DV-440 and found it to be a poor performer. I wanted to like it because of its low price and slim design. However, I found the video quality the worst of the 5 DVD players I've owned and sonically, it wasn't much better. I promptly returned it.

For $220 or less, I would get the Toshiba SD-4700 or 3750. The Panasonic RP56 also looks like a winner.

For lower end, I think I would actually consider buying whatever Consumer Reports likes.

Just my $.02 worth.

Enjoy,
