 I'm waiting for the cost of blu-ray to come down August 22, 2008
I have a Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black and it looks pretty good on my 1080p Panasonic plasma. I was going to buy this unit tonight at one of the large electronic retail stores. A guy with a blue shirt showed me a display with a standard dvd player, in fact I think it was the NS57P, this upscaling unit and a blu-ray side by side. The standard dvd looked terrible but they weren't using component video cables, just the yellow RCA. This unit looked about like what I get with my standard dvd player and the blue-ray looked awesome. I think I'm going to put the money I was going to spend tonight into a savings account labeled blu-ray and wait till Christmas and see where the prices are then.
 Huge step up from NS75 -- yes, I can see the improved quality August 20, 2008
I had the very good Sony NS75 upconverting player, but when I saw this new NS700 at such a great price (same as the NS75 two years ago), I jumped on it. The old NS75 did only 1080i, while this new player does 1080p. In fact, it's the first HDTV peripheral I've bought that exploits my nearly two-year-old A2000's native 1080p.
Some may say, who can tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p? Well, between this player and my old one, I can. Not only is the progressive scan superior, Sony seems to have really improved upconversion processing in the two years since the NS75. Before, I was aware of the upconversion. Now, the NS700 does such a phenomenal job, it really does feel like watching true hi-def from a DVD.
This player is so good and such a good deal that I feel comfortable putting off a Blu-ray/PS3 player purchase for a while.
 upconvertng DVD player to go with a new samsung lcd hdtv August 17, 2008
I borrow DVD'a from the local library and when they work they look really good. But the player rejects alot of them if they've been around a long time, so it's fussy. It's ok- I accept it. Relatively new DVD's really look terrific.
good dvd player August 15, 2008
lots of features, great picture, abit noisy if not enclosed in a cabinet. mine sits under a 13 in. lcd tv. so the motor on the player is a bit noisy.
