Re: Best DVD player for $1100 or less?


If by HD and Blu-ray player, you mean HD DVD, I don't know what formats you want but I would not buy an HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player now unless you already have a collection of HD DVD. HD DVD is dead. I would recommend a Blu-ray player and a separate DVD player if you want SACD/DVD-A and the best DVD-V playback. My recommendations for possibilities for both:

Blu-ray
Panasonic DMP-BD50
Sony BDP-S550
Sony PS3

DVD/SACD/DVD-V
Oppo DV-983H
Denon DVD-3930CI

I think the DVDO I Scan performance can be matched by the Oppo DV-983H, but it might be you want a player that can be processed by that scaler. I don't know what sources it accepts, but if it will process from HDMI, the Oppo DV-980H might be a good choice and it is only $170.
