Best DVD player for Toshiba 34HF83 (1 Viewer)

[Mark Hamilton]

Hello all,

I had kinda planned to buy the Samsung DVD HD-931 player to go with a forthcoming Toshiba 34HF83 HDTV. However, I'v read nothing but complaints about this player regarding everything from 4x3 playback issues, to black crush, to poor remote sensing, etc. When I did hookup the two units in store and I tested Monsters, Inc., and The Saint, the picture was marvelous! I'm almost reluctant to get a non-DVI player for fear of the image quality being below that, but $400CDN is just to much for the Samsung at this point.

Are the Sony DVP-NS325SM, Sony DVPNS725P, or Toshiba SD430V, decent players? Which would likely be the best unit, PQ wise, for the 34HF83 (keep in mind I'll be using Monster Component video cables).

THANKS!

Sony and Toshiba are inferior players with the chroma bug. I'd recommend a good Faroujda-based player like the Denon DVD-1600, it has top-rated quality.

I'd read that the Sony DVPNS725P does not have the chroma bug... I'd like good 480P PQ...

Can anybody recommend a good player from futureshop.ca?

Anything there that is particularly nice?

There is an exclusive deal with the legendary Panasonic XP30 that is frickin' awesome. It's a steal!

Just buy it, sell the receiver. Done!
