Best DVD player for a 30" widescreen HDTV?

[jsbush]

Looking for the best dvd player I can find for my HDTV. I have no clue how much I should spend, and what to get. Or even if I should get one, will they come out with a new dvd technologie in six months...?


Suggestions please!


Edit: My tv has a DVI connection.

Thats what I'm using right now. But I'd like to get a standalone dvd player to keep things simple.

When i bought my Panasonic 30WX54 30" Widescreen HDTV a little over a month ago i was faced with the same situation. I only had a non-progressive scan dvd player, and needed to upgrade.

The general concensus was that any decent progressive scan dvd player will do, as an upconverting model really dosent help on CRT's.

I needed a sound system as well, so i ended up buying the Sony DAV-FR1 from mysony for $345ish and now have my home theater complete. Its a full 5.1 system with a built in progressive scan 5-disc dvd changer/sacd player. I love it

Personally I have the Samsung 931 (w 1080i upconversion) on my Pioneer Elite rear projection but to each his own.

Well, you can't go wrong with the Linn Unidisk SC. But it must cost at least a few thousand dollars.
