There has been TONS of back and forth over whether this player is the real deal or not - but no one has offered a straight endorsement or discouragement of it - seems like everyone is on the fence about it. It always depends on this or that - not very helpful - just seems to confuse the issue more.
I am considering this player, but it seems like a lot of people on these boards that have bought it, wound up selling theirs after only a few days of use - that is not a good sign.
I have a really nice SONY Progressive Scan now feeding in my 34" Direct View CRT SONY HDTV XBR (no DVI). The picture looks very sharp. 480p is the goods - how much better will a scaled up 720p or 1080i picture look on this unit? How much improvement will I see going to the DVD-HD1000?
Once and for all I would like to get everyone's BOTTOM LINE on this player from first hand users who bought and used this player. I would specifically like to know the opinions of people who have had progressive scan DVD players before and then viewed this player on the same setup. Was the result not that stunning to justify the $1500 price tag? Were the results worse in any case? The same?
Now let the opinions roll . . . . . .
