I recently bought a Pioneer plasma with an Aurora a-304 video card. Apparantley this vid card upscales better than any dvd player on the market (sub $1000 that is.) So, basically I am looking for a good 480p dvd player from BestBuy. I usually get my electronics elsewhere but I have around $140 in rewardzone credit I would like to use up. My only requirements are that it have a component output and optical output for sound. I just want a stand alone dvd player that doesnt cost a fortune and does not have a lot of known problems. Here is the final list of dvd players that suit my needs sold by BB. Thanks in advance for any recommendations out of this group.
I bought the Yamaha DVS750, pretty nice player. I think its a step up from the others you mentioned in build (6 pounds vs 4-5 pounds with the others) and the warranty is a full one year. PQ is decent for a budget player, good richness of color, probably as good or better depth detail to picture. Not alot of frills but a nice feature set.

Hmmm, I will have to check. I dont recall my local BB having any Pio DVD players. Thanks for the input.
