I was just about to buy this guy but I heard there is a lot of problems with PQ...

"Stay away from this product if you are buying it for use with a high-definition television. This player has the infamous "chroma bug" or "chroma upsampling error" which results in poor picture quality on a high-definition television. There is blurriness and digital artifacting around the edges of objects on the screen, and it makes movie-watching almost intolerable. The picture quality is similar to watching satellite during a storm, where the signal becomes weak and the picture beomces blocky. At first I though I just had expectations that were too high for the picture quality on HDTV, but my friend hooked up his Hitachi DVD player (it uses a Faroudja chipset) to my system and picture was beautiful.."

"I bought a Sony DVP-NS575P today to replace my old Sony DVD player. It is an entry-level progressive scan DVD player and I would otherwise recommend it as a nice, easy-to-use unit except for the quality of the picture. Perhaps I just got a bad one, but the picture simply doesn't have enough contrast. Everything looks dim no matter how I adjust my television. The picture also shows lots of digital artifacts (flickering, etc.) that I find annoying. The old player and the current VCR don't have these problems, so I know it isn't my TV. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this DVD player and I will be returning mine."
Arg. Should I just avoid this one or? I've heard very positive reviews too...I have an HDTV and will run it through a component inpuit so...
Thanks guys!!
