recommend Progressive-scan DVD players?

JT is right. FYI the new Denon also runs the DVDO chip set as well, and is way less money. I have the Sony 9000ES and am very happy with audio as well as video. Once you have used progressive scan, you never want to go back. It is much more natural, and less fatiguing.
Just be sure that the model you buy does true 3/2 pulldown.Good luck.

Sorry I missed the action JT. Been busy negotiating the latest upgrade, and my work slows down to a crawl in the summer, so I've been layin' low. Sounds, most of the pricier progressive scan models can do 3/2 pull down. The less expensive Pioneer doesn't, although it is called progressive scan by a technicality. Make sure before you buy. The Pioneer DV-37 is very good, the 9000ES is excellent, the Roundtable is tops, unless you have an extra 12 grand.

Hi Angela, best regards. I'm enjoying my Sony DVP-9000ES very much, but my TV keeps shutting of for days, and when the serviceman comes ...voila! it works again, happened twice. I'll find that bug and squash it sooner or later. Gotta run, Sounds,go for it!
