Sony DVP-NS700H/B 1080p Upscaling DVD Player, Black
Although I don't consider myself a Hi-Tek geek who knows all the intricate details of DVD players, I am somewhat computer literate and know the difference between performance of electronic equipment good or bad. With that caveat, I can only describe my new purchase of a Sony DVD player (listed above) as a very satisfying experience in all respects.
From its sleek appearance to its ease of setup to its admirable performance, it's been flawless. Compared with the several past generational DVD players owned, this one is far and beyond superior in every way. Coupled with my new 32in. VIZIO plasma TV the viewing experience is nothing short of awesome. Sure, there are some programming delays, if 30 seconds counts for a delay and the little blue pilot light shines brightly and the remote probably could be more user friendly, but those just constitute griping. The picture and sound quality just blew me away and I may never attend another movie theater again (an exaggeration).
One of my favorite films which I've watched several times on my old-fashioned equipment, 2001 A Space Odyssey, came alive anew on my new rig.
Considering the nominal cost of the player (purchased with a gift certificate and shipped at no cost) this acquisition was most satisfying.

I had 1080p upscaling on my PS3, but I moved the PS3 to the game area. So I needed a DVD player for
my 1080p 70" Sony TV. I was quite pleased with the video picture. It is really stunning when you run
SuperBit DVDs in it.
(A SuperBit DVD doesn't have the same compressed picture as a typical DVD. They eliminated all of the previews and behind the scenes garbage and used the entire DVD's storage for picture and sound.)
Although Blue-Ray is stunning, I just can't pay $30 for a movie I can get for $10 that looks really good as well. I ran Disney's Cars side to side via BlueRay and 1080p upscale to compare the formats. There was a lot more dimension and better color on the BlueRay, but not anything that justified 3 times the cost. I keep my BlueRay purchases to just the movies that will benefit the most from the format, for example when Ironman comes out, I will spend the extra for that. (sound is entirely different issue that factors into what kind of speakers and receiver you own).
One thing that gets overlooked with this DVD player is the ability to play music. Most folks don't realize that you can drag up to 700MB of MP3s onto a blank CD-Rom (approx. 150 songs) and play them on this DVD player. That is better than any 5 disc CD player. If you use an application like iTunes, you can burn songs on a DVD-Rom (4.2GB of MP3s) that is almost 1,000 songs.
I always like to tell folks you can burn your entire Xmas song collection on one disc and let it play randomly. The same goes for the entire Beatles collection or every Sinatra song on one disc.
It is really simple to do this, you don't need to be a computer geek to figure it out. iTunes makes it super simple (PC or Mac).
Also note, it you are a tech geek and you have .avi files or mpegs on disc, this will play them as well.
If you have home movies on your computer, just burn them to a CD or DVD-Rom and this DVD player will play them. You don't have to convert them or format them to a "DVD Video". Just leave them as mpegs.
This DVD player is one heck of a machine.
Quality DVD - upconverts to 1080p July 25, 2008

Have owned this for only 24hrs so far. It looks sleek and has a beautiful remote. I send audio via optical to my receiver and video via hdmi to my Panasonic plasma 42inch HDTV. For the technically challenged, use the user-friendly manual to set everything to your taste and this superb player will automatically upconvert your dvds for you. I have noticed that the sound quality is significantly improved over my 2yr old Toshiba dvd player even though I used optical for that too. Other bonus features in the remote include the ability to control your TV using the Dvd remote, changing the tv display, recall upto 6 dvds you've played in the past and continue from where you left off, audo presets and much more. I really love the remote. Fits snugly in your palm. Back to the dvd player. It has blue light which perfectly contrasts with the black color.

I dont want to spend $34.00/one bluraymovie.
I want to see all my DVDs collection on HD.
I dont want to spend $400.00+ for PS3 or other HD players.
With $80.00 i dont have to worry anymore, my HD dream come true!
