Hi, Phyllis

Judging by other's posts, it appears there is a very definite difference in picture quality using the interlaced output between the stock DVD-2900 and DVD-5900 players, though the interlaced performance of the DVD-2900 is certainly no slouch. On the other hand, this difference is far more visible on a projection screen, than on a 36" TV (even a Sony Wega). So, if that is your only criterion for the selection. It seems like the 2900 would be the most cost effective of the two.

I have no knowledge of where the 2200 would stand in that regard, but if it has the same video DAC specs as the DVD-2900 (I don't know), then as John says, it could be the perfect solution. If the video DAC specs are lesser, then it could also be a question of where you want to draw the line (or as John suggests, your future plans).

Luck -- Trevor
