Been debating on buying a 2nd dvd player, (just recently purchased a HD TV-Mitsu) and leaning towards one with 3:2 pulldown. Dont want to get into the Pioneer 434, as this is not a 3:2 pulldown type! Which dvd players (Toshiba 5109 (if one can still be found,SD- 6200, Sony 760, Denon 2800, would one suggest? ANy thoughts???

I have a 55" Mitsu that I bought last Sunday and I ordered the JVC 723 from ecost.com on Friday (they have it for about $318) and it arrived on Saturday.
The difference is amazing and very filmlike! Highly recommend the JVC (it supports DVD-Audio, too)

El Pollo: price was a consideration, but I was looking in the $500-$600 range, and the Camelot was out of my price range. After reading the article on progressive scan players comparisons, I can see what the Camelot is recommended. But it appears that the Silicon (sp?) chipped players seem to put out a better performance, and I am leaning towards the Denon 2800, now that they have fixed the chroma problem. Also waiting for the TOshiba SD-4700 to come out, see what onboard chip it has. ANyone else read the progressive scan articles?

looks like the jvc 723, and toshiba 6200 may be decent budget buys. i don't know how much longer i can wait for the new crop to start rolling out though, some of my discs cry out to be seen w/ a progressive signal. so if i can find a good deal i may just pop for one of these 2.

chol: keep in mind that the Denon 2800 has been fixed, and the problems resolved, so those complaints were mostly before the chroma problems. and it does appear that the Denon people have fixed those problems, and attempted to make the buyers satisfied. but that is just my opinion.

i'll go back again in a little while and then paraphrase here or toss out the link.
does anyone here have the Denon and reccommend it as the best player under $1k? if there are many happy owners out there w/out reservations, i'll put this one back on the short list. otherwise, for $400 at BB, this jvc has me pretty curious.
i'd rather get a toshiba since my 2109 has preformed FLAWLESSLY on every disc i've put into it. i've never had an error w/ even some of these so-called 'problem titles' but i think i read about jvc's choking on some of these (like Dinosaur, tarzan).
i talked to one of the sales men and he didn't expect the new models until july/august. is this right?

pst:
here's the link to the thread
http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002703.html
the main other problem seems to be audio drop-outs although a couple people in the thread said they still loved their unit. if you do go for the denon, good luck. i hope you'll post your impressions of it here.

Just bought the Toshiba 6200 at Tweeter for 550.00 friday.
They have it for 599.99 and I told them that I seen someone on line got it for 550 and we have been buying alot there so they gave it to us for that.
