Pioneer DV-F727, and that's about it.

It doesn't upscale, and holds 100 fewer DVDs than the Sony. I haven't seen it in stores in a while, but I imagine it's out there.

The only other one I've heard of is a Kenwood model, and it hasn't been available new in several years.

Why? Your TV may upconvert to it's native res and look quite nice.

Sony is your only option, playerwise. Pioneer and Kenwood didn't make an upscaling unit, and no one else makes a megachanger.

If your TV upscales well, then just get the Pioneer if Sony isn't your cup of tea.

If its an HD display, it upconverts. If it's not, then you don't need an upconversion player anyway. Can you give us the specifics of your display?

A model number would help. Is it a CRT?

It's either CRT or DLP. It is not both.

If it's DLP, it will already upscale everything to its native resolution. If you don't want the Sony, get the Pioneer.
