Thanks for the reply canuckle.

The 2903CI does look outstanding...but it's not in my price range.

My price range is probably max $250-$300.
I've read a few articles on the AVS forum about how HDCD and Blue
Ray is not really catching on.....I don't mean to say that anyone that
has been going with either format is foolish or anything. Before DVD
cought on I bought a $800 Marantz Lazer disc player, and that was a mistake,(bigtime)
but I thought DVD wouldn't have the success it did (man was I wrong).

Oppo DV-970HP ($150) or Sony DVPNS75H (around $100) are some
of the players I'm interested in.........but like in my origonal post I'm
not by any means video knowlegeable when it comes to home theater.
Right now I have a $80 JVC up conversion 1080 DVD player. It's
pretty good with convential tv's, I just think I could do better with a
a nice (better) DVD player.....vardo
