Rating  - no divix but oh well. no usb, oh well.
yeah this DVD player is pretty sweet. i do like the way the samsungs are laid out, they are a bit more user friendly but ive found they can be a bit glitchy. sony products seem to be built better.
my only real requirements for an upscaling dvd player was optical outputs and this one had it. as the other players played divix, there was no optical output to be found. besides my xbox plays divix, so for me, i didnt care.
the features on the front on the dvd player were only open.power and play. no FFW or RWD but no biggie, the remote is big and the buttons are well spaced.
this DVD player is slow loading but has very detailed user settings which are cool once you get the hang of it.
i do hate that you cant change most of the user settings adjustments if theres a DVD in the tray which can be bothersome but once youve set everything up youre good to go anyway.
this isnt the prettiest dvd player but im sure its the best cause sony builds sturdy stuff. this is a DVD player for the audiophile and clarity obsessed because it really is clear! i upgraded from a 1080i output dvd player to this one and did notice a difference, its more crisp and colorful. for the people that say upgrading to 1080p doesnt make a difference just dont know what they are talking about.
for 80 bucks, its worth the upgrade for anyone looking for a clearer picture or anyone with a HDTV.
Rating  - DVD player
Just got this and so far so good. Watched my DVD of "The Birds" and I need to make color adjustments, etc, otherwise has a great picture. Easy to set up and to use. Great price.
Rating  - I'm waiting for the cost of blu-ray to come down
I have a Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black and it looks pretty good on my 1080p Panasonic plasma. I was going to buy this unit tonight at one of the large electronic retail stores. A guy with a blue shirt showed me a display with a standard dvd player, in fact I think it was the NS57P, this upscaling unit and a blu-ray side by side. The standard dvd looked terrible but they weren't using component video cables, just the yellow RCA. This unit looked about like what I get with my standard dvd player and the blue-ray looked awesome. I think I'm going to put the money I was going to spend tonight into a savings account labeled blu-ray and wait till Christmas and see where the prices are then.
Rating - Huge step up from NS75 -- yes, I can see the improved quality
I had the very good Sony NS75 upconverting player, but when I saw this new NS700 at such a great price (same as the NS75 two years ago), I jumped on it. The old NS75 did only 1080i, while this new player does 1080p. In fact, it's the first HDTV peripheral I've bought that exploits my nearly two-year-old A2000's native 1080p.
Some may say, who can tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p? Well, between this player and my old one, I can. Not only is the progressive scan superior, Sony seems to have really improved upconversion processing in the two years since the NS75. Before, I was aware of the upconversion. Now, the NS700 does such a phenomenal job, it really does feel like watching true hi-def from a DVD.
This player is so good and such a good deal that I feel comfortable putting off a Blu-ray/PS3 player purchase for a while.
Rating - upconvertng DVD player to go with a new samsung lcd hdtv
I borrow DVD'a from the local library and when they work they look really good. But the player rejects alot of them if they've been around a long time, so it's fussy. It's ok- I accept it. Relatively new DVD's really look terrific.
