Disk Players

Blu-Ray Players

Buy a PS3. To be honest, I am not interested in this format and am looking into digital solutions rather than get sucked into buying more disks.

DVD Players

• Oppo DV-983HD - Rated as one of the best DVD players out there winning many industry awards. Definitely give this player a look if you are in the market. A related review that might be of interest is Roo’s Oppo DV-980HD review.
• Denon DVD-5910 - The Perfect Vision gave the following rank to this DVD player (where 10 is the highest rank possible): Video 10.2, Audio 9.2, Price/Performance 9.2.

If shopping for a DVD player, look for a player that supports progressive scan technology. This will improve your picture quality by changing the normal interlaced signal to a progressive scan signal (double check that your TV or monitor support progressive scan input as well). Players that support Sage/Faroudja DCDi technology are a good bet. A progressive-scan DVD player should be able to handle the 3-2 pulldown cadence of film to NTSC transfer.

NOTE: Films are shot at 24fps while NTSC TV displays at 30fps.
