I agree with everything you said here except the following statement...
*Frankly, in the $300 catagory, I wouldn't expect very great things from a DVD players scan converter.*In my testing I found, for less than $300 a Panasonic RP-82 in progressive mode outperforms the 2800II and many other machines costing upwards of $1000 like the Sony 900ES, Toshiba 9200 and a few others. Also the Panasomic RP-91K beats these machines for strict video performance. There are quite a few progressive DVD players that are using Faroudja based chipsets that are excellent machines in the $150-400 range including the Denon DVD-1600. In fact for video quality I would take the 1600 over the 2800II myself.
Follow Ups:
Hey Eric,I'll agree that some "budget" players buck the trend. Panasonic makes some nice machines, and the Denon DVD1600 is a very nice machine for the $$$. For that matter, I think I'd also prefer the 1600 over the 2800. The 2800 series has been a tad problematic...a nice enough player, but for the $$$ there's better options, IMO.
I'll also allow that the latest generation of low dollar progressive machines are a fair shot better than the machines they replaced, in terms of video quality.
Perhaps my statment was a bit too far reaching.
