Pioneer DV434: is it really progressive scan?!

Mercata has the Pioneer DV434 DVD player. It says it has a "digital progressive scan output". Yet it's less that three hundo! Is there some sort of catch, or does this price just blow everything out of the water? My daddy always said, if it sounds too good to be true... __________________ I heard it wasn't "true" progressive scan. And the reviews pretty much reamed it. Don't get it. __________________ To sum it up in 2 words: Not really. The answer is actually longer than that. However it does have some of the characteristics of a progressive player. You can find out more info at: http://www.audioreview.com/reviews/D...ct_50631.shtml In summary, I think if you're expecting to get a good unit with very good picture quality for a ~$300 player, you'll be happy. If you're looking for a replacement for the SD5109, SD6200, SD9100, SD9200, or DVD-H100, for pennies on the dollar, you're going to disappointed. IMHO. __________________ Sage advice from the Leon-a-tor. Thanks, I figured there had to be a catch. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Apex To sum it up in 2 words: Not really.

It looks like some of the less informed and discerning users were wowwed by the prospect of a $300 progressive unit, while others were like "What the F?" So, any suggestions for a good player? I don't want to break the bank. Is the SD-1600 any good? I'd like to keep it under $300. __________________ Just get the cheapest Toshiba you can and start saving up for the Toshiba 5109. Mavi forum
