Hi guys
I recently purchased a Philips DVP642 divx player, which I was planning to play divx files burned from my computer, as a replacement for my crappy broken DVD player at least until I can afford the next gen HD-DVD players. However, in the month I've had it, I never once used it to play any divx files, I still maintain to play those on my computer. So in conclusion, I decided to return the Philips divx player and get a cheap DVD only player that has better image quality.
I was considering the Philips DVP5900 for awhile, since it has upconversion and it can be generally found under $100. However, after reading about the faroudja chip, and how it's claimed to be the hottest thing out there now to have for DVD players to get, I've decided to get something with the faroudja chip. I'm looking to spend under $150, since if I go a bit above that I might as well go for the Oppo OPDV971H.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I recently got a Denon receiver, if upconversion isn't that neccessarily important (and since I can't afford any of the Denon DVD players that does upconversion, even the lowly 1910), I was wondering if it's better to get an older Denon DVD player that has good image quality.
