Panasonic RP56 (awesome player... ~$250)
Panasonic RP61 (a few more features than the 56, ~$300, may not be released yet)
New JVC progressive scan (don't know models, but they have a single and 5-disc models)
Toshiba SD-6200
Sony DVP-NS700P
These are players I've either tried or know a friend who has them, or have read great reveiws of. I personlaly think the Panasonics have a GREAT picture. I have the Sony. A good pic... but for the same money, I think the Panny is better.
