If you are looking for great upscaling of standard DVDs at a great price and just get an Oppo. It can not be beat in terms of what it can do for what you will pay. It completly blows anything Denon has. Or, you might want to want a couple of months and look into what Toshiba has to offer. They have announced a line of what they claim will be near HD quality upscaling players. I don't doubt it since they've decicded NOT to go Blu. A friend of mine had done a test a few month back and purchased both a Sony Blu and Toshobia HD-DVD to test them. He found that, side by side the Toshobia HD-DVD did a better job of upsampling standard DVDs than the SONY Blu. However, when he saw my Oppo he said it was better than both. The oppo also does more, including PAL DVDs for the money it's just plain simple math.
