seems like once you wait two years to get a new TV set, you'll want a new DVD player by then anyways. I'd just be tempted to get a Panasonic DVD-RV32K in your case. you can find them in yahoo shopping for like $100+shipping. Also I believe Circuit City has them for $120+tax, or something like that now. (normal price is $150). You could probably spend a little more to get a progressive scan model, but that feature won't be of use until you get a different TV. I don't see how that is worth an extra $100 right now (or whatever the difference is). I personally wouldn't have enough confidence that the unit would physically last that long (most low price mass market stuff tend last last that long, especially if moving parts are involved).I have a Toshiba 36AF61 (SDTV only, but I like it). The panasonic player I mentioned is on my shortlist.
My $0.02
