I'm currently using an old, interlaced, Sony DVP-S530D feeding my new KV-34XBR800 through component. It works fine; I use the CineMotion feature of the TV to de-interlace the picture. But I'm looking for more...
I'm in the market for a decent progressive Sony DVD player. I know a number of you prefer other brands, but I'd like to stick with Sony. I've got it narrowed down to the inexpensive 755 and the better, but more expensive 999. I can get the 9000 or the 900 for less, but I want the multi-channel SACD. I've read all 15 pages of the 999 thread here on the board and am willing to accept it's downsides. I notice the 755 has all the same features as the 999 and it's specs (on paper at least) are almost as good.
Here's my quandary. I can get the 755 for $199, the 999 is $1,199. That's a big difference, which I'm sure dosen't mean much to folks like yourselves, but is a bit of change to me.
With the thought that HD-DVD is a couple or three years off (and I'm sure I'll get that when it comes out), what is the consensus of the forum on the practical differences between the 755 and the 999. Is it worth the $1000 for a couple years of use?
