The Mits and Pioneers are the best, if you can afford an Elite get one if you can't get the Diamond Series. These manufactures are way above the rest. From what I've read the dv-37 and higher models of the elite progressive scan are the only ones that do the true progressive scan (3:2) pulldown. If you spend anything less than $700 for and progressive scan dvd player right now, chances are you are not getting a true progressive scan. In the future the prices will come down. I'm with everyone else I enjoy the 16:9 playdoh image. You can barely notice it. Rather than taking the 16:9 image on a 4:3 and making it playdoh.
