Might I suggest you give a slight bump to your DVD player budget and go for a universal player like the Denon 2910 or 3910? If you're going to project onto that size screen, I would argue that you'd want to make sure that the source player is as good as possible. You can do well at $450, but at $600 you can start to do very well.
