Picture quality can vary from player to player. I do not believe it is as wide a range as the first few generations of players. I would search the web for reviews on picture quality. Thanks for pointing that out.

Audio quality is another matter. Unless the unit is complete crap, I fully believe the digital signal will sound the same on all players. Until somebody can demonstrate a difference in a proper double blind test, I'll take reports of sonic superiority with a grain of salt.

Build quality is also a good point. However, we're almost at the point now where you can buy a $100 unit, use it for a few years, throw it out and buy another one with the current features. When it comes to build quality, I feel you do pay more for certain names. I would think product support would be a good point to add here too.

I think we have reached a point where anybody can go out a fork over $100-$200 for a DVD player and be satisfied for years. It's not like looking for a used car or a house.
