In Reply to: DVD Sony 9000ES posted by Ron on January 22, 2002 at 10:15:27:
I've had the Sony 9000 for about six months as well. I think it has one of the better pictures out there.Denon is just about to release their 9000 model, which sports some impressive specs. With its Silicon Image chips it just might offer a better progressive-scan picture. No chroma bug this time either. I'll guess it'll be under $1500, so save your coin and buy some great cables to mate it with!

I will look for the Denon 9000 unit. Thanks for your response.
The Denon 9000 lists for US$3500, unlikely you will see if for anywhere near US$1500 this year ;-)Perhaps you are confusing the 9000 and the 3800?
Both have superiour (and identical) deinterlacing solutions to the Sony's Genesis, although Sony did a very nice job implementing this chipset. If you use this player in progressive scan, you see the results of the deinterlacer on every frame you watch.
The same is true of the MPEG decoder you see its work on every frame you watch, and as we've said many times, some are more sensitive than others to the flaw -- but it's definitely there on the 9000.
Thanks for your response. Apparently you have some experience with the 9000ES. I will look for the Denon unit and am also considering the Arcam DV27.
Ron,There are some really good solutions -- look at as many as you can and pick the one that pleases your eyes the most.
