I have a Toshiba 56 inch widescreen hdtv and want to buy a progressive scan dvd player. I currently have a sony non-progressive player and I am happy with the picture, but want to upgrade to the progressive player. Your input on which one to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, HL

Go with the Toshiba SD-6200 dual tray prog. scan player. I bought it online a couple months ago for just under $500 and don't regret it one bit. A great player...

Hannibal, sounds like your in the same position as me. I'm chomping at the bit to get one, but all the advice i'm getting is to wait just a little longer. new models, at new lower price points are due soon. sony in particular has one due w/ a msrp of $400. plus i'm hearing talk about a unit from from a HK manufacturer called skyworth, for under $300, that uses the Faroujda(sp?) chip for de-interlacing which is supposed to be superior to the chip in the new denon 2800 (was looking forward to that one, but it looks to have been somewhat of a bust). i'm tempted to try to get a 6200, but you and i both know something better & cheaper is just around the corner. in this case thats not just a cliche, they really are close.
i'm gonna try to hold out a little longer, but if you find a good price on the 6200, well....

although it's a bit dated (dec. 2000) there's a pretty good summary of progressive scan players over at Secrets of Home Theater: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/maste..._toc_main.html
and also a fairly in depth reivew of the Tosh 6200.

I agree I am holding out for a changer that will play dvd audio/video and be progressive with 3/2 pulldown. And SACD would be nice as well.
