I've been trying to find a DVD player that functions decently for the past few months. I've gone through at least 10 or more players and returned them all. So many of the players now have horrible progressive scanning problems where the image isn't even aligned properly. It's the player I know, because the images are displayed correctly on my Panasonic DMR-E30 DVD player/recorder. This is my only good player I have right now. It's a 2002 model, and I haven't been able to find one that matches it's performance since, at least as far as progressive scanning is concerened.

I'm looking for a Panasonic player that plays DVD-RAM discs, because that's what all my camcorder material is recorded on. The first 2 Panasonic Blu-ray players seemed like they would be a good choice, but unfortunately they both have one MAJOR problem, the Chroma Upsampling Error. There's got to be others out there that have noticed this problem I would think. All other Panasonic players haven't had this problem, so why now in their flagship most expensive players. Is this a problem that can be corrected with a firmware update? I'm in the process of informing Panasonic of this problem. If they are completely unaware of this problem I'd be shocked. Someone elese out there must care about picture quality.

I didn't know finding a decent DVD player would be so difficult until now. I've had nothing but a great one since 2002. I guess companies make poorer quality players as time goes on.
