I'm interested in getting a good progressive scan dvd player for use on my new Hitachi 51G500 as my old DVD player is not progressive. Over at audioasylum.com they are claiming that Philips provides great picture quality and great sound quality for regular CDs. It is also apparently a region-free dvd player that will do a PAL to NTSC conversion allowing playback of European dvds (region 2 PAL) on North American TVs (there is a hacker code required to facilitate this).
I'm quite curious as it would allow me to get some European DVDs that aren't available in North America and it would also allow me to avoid buying another CD player as my last one just died on me.
It's price is also amazingly low. It can be found for under $80 US.
Unfortunately there is only one fairly uninformative review on this site. Have anyone of you tried this unit and if so what are your opinions?
