Bought one of these a few weeks ago......does anyone think that the Denon DVD3800 for around $450.00 is the steal of the year? Even if it is a refurb? A $1,200.00 player, that is a baby brother to Denons' top of the line, $3,500.00 DVD9000 player?? A player that looks beautiful, puts out a picture that is so good you will keep thinking, "is this picture really that good? is this picture really that good? Is this the best picture I have ever seen?" I defy you to find a better player for under $450.00...under $1,000.00...under $2,000.00......weighs almost 25 lbs., and is built rock solid! It is truly a beast!!! There a still few out there at this price...... think about it......would you want one of the best players built???? I stressed and worried before buying...am I making the right decision?? $450.00 is a lot for me to spend on a DVD player.....my budget was around $300.00 or so tops when looking..I kept gravitating back to this player..... wished I could have it.....
Well,
I got it.
I am very, very happy. Happy, happy....a happy camper!!! The picture , especially with a quality TV, is u.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e.! I could go on and on with the familiar words...filmlike, 3-D picture, etc., etc........
It is well know that some players built before Sept. 2002 had a faulty laser assembly, and since the 3800 has just been discontinued last month, the replacement laser assemblies are coming from.......big brother, top of the line, the DVD9000! In fact, the one I bought (build date 08/02...naturally)started showing symtoms of a possible problem in the first week, and Denon is fixing it right now. NO hassle, very nice, friendly help....nothing serious. And no complaints. This machine is so good I can't complain. I am getting a refurbished, triple checked refurb!!! I am pretty confident that this will be better than "new", and cannot rave enough about this magnificent player....And the price.......I have not checked out 100's of players for comparison, but my eyes and ears tell me this is the finest quality sight and sound machine I have ever seen, and to get much better would be tough...and probably ridiculously expensive. Also plays DVA-Audio.....
But it's a MOVIE MACHINE.....better than going to your local theater.....
Did I say I love this player? Am I saying you should check them out? Just buy from an authorized Denon reseller...and you can be a happy camper too...$450.00 for a player this good, with a factory warranty( get an extented warranty for piece of mind ).....deal of the year?????
YES!!!!!
just my two and a half cents
