Hi all,
hope some of you out there can help me out on this one. I currently own a nice Sony 725D Player which I am going to be selling for a new player soon. I have got my choice of players down to the following four players.
1) Denon DVD-3800
2) Toshiba SD900e
3) Pioneer DV-747A
4) Phillips DVD-962SA
Basically, which of these fine machines do you all think is the best to buy? All between £500-800. All do progreesive scan (2 apparently do PAL progressive, but not sure if true pure PAL progressive due to reading around) Some do DVD-A, some do SACD, some both.
I am first and foremost looking for best picture and sound quality (including the progressive scan PQ)
I have heard lots about this chroma bug, not still 100% sure how this affects PQ, but obviously need to take it into account.
I have a Denon 3802 Amp, so was thinking the Denon would match this perfectly, but have heard various gripes on here about these models. Lots of you rate the Phillips, and I love the look of the Tosh (may be getting the Strata 36" Nicam Tosh TV which has the component inputs)
So what do you all think?
Looks don't bother me, just performance.
What would you get?
