In Reply to: Best Performance DVD Player under $1200 Retail posted by johnnybegood on May 12, 2003 at 08:47:21:
i've been running a denon dvd2800 with my "27 samsung digital hdtv monitor for the past 9 months with excellent results. the progressive scan chip is good and creates a very smooth "film" like presentation. Not many mpeg artifacts seen.
Follow Ups:
My Pioneer (DV-05) quit on me a couple weeks ago so I picked up a Denon DVD-1600 which trounces the '05, even in interlaced mode. It's impressive for a $500 player. It does indeed get closer to representing the film (or video) source. Film grain, dust, and scratches never looked so good!(BTW, it's based on Panasonic hardware.)
The 2800 is a better player, and I understand it navigates REALLY fast. It probably is one of the best choices under $1,200. Now that I've seen what the 1600 does, I might be upgrading myself!

I also own the Denon DVD-1600 and I'm very pleased with it. I may upgrade to the brand new Denon DVD-2900 which just became available this summer. I'm hoping it has slightly better audio performance than the DVD-1600. Otherwise, I might look into the Marantz DV-8400 which replaces the DV-8300 (that got poor reviews for audio performance).
