Shane, consider the Sony 995 . Apparently you consider upscaling in the player to be a major factor, but keep in mind that the TV itself has to scale the incoming material to fit its "native resolution" if it hasn't been done earlier by a player or receiver. Having it done by the player is only an advantage if it does a visibly better job of it than the TV would. This varies.
