Sony DVP-NS57P/S Progressive Scan DVD Player, Silver
The DVP-NS57P/S DVD player features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, providing sharper images for a better viewing experience. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. Sony's Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include fast/slow playback with sound, and custom parental control.

Sony DVP-NS57P/S Progressive Scan DVD Player, Silver Reviews
This DVD player works great while it is working. The price is a good indication of it's true quality. Treat this one as disposable. Mine failed after exactly one year and three days.
I returned it to amazon and got a full refund. I then purchased the upconverting dvd by sony on amazon and am very pleased with the quality and the picture. The player arrived with the dvd in the open position and it would not work when hooked up. The workmanship is pretty shoddy.
The picture quality greatly surpasses any DVD player with similar features in this price range. I ended up digging around and I was able to find some old component cables. Sound quality is excellent. I received a set of audio cable (the traditional red/white ones) but there was nothing in the box for video.
This is where I have my biggest complaint - the lack of video cables. Colors are bright and vivid. I admit that I had rather low expectations due to the price. I don't think you could find anything remotely close to it in this price range. Whether this was intended or not, it was very frustrating. I could not be more satisfied with this DVD Player.
Otherwise, why include any cables at all. Once you have it all hooked up, however, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I've owned a couple of DVD players in this price range and they were simply mediocre but I needed a DVD player for my office and didn't see a need for anything too high end. This is a high quality unit that greatly surpassed my expectations. If this was intentional, why not throw in at least a simple yellow composite cable. Boy, was I surprised when hooked this baby up.
Build quality is high, whisper quiet if not silent while operating and picture quality is phenomenal. There's no noticeable blurring during frantic action scenes unlike similarly priced DVD players.
Bought this for my son. So far it has been a great DVD for the price.
Yes, as some have said, it is a little slow in loading, but it's not that bad. Black lettering on a light gray background is much easier to read than the reverse especially when you are looking for the pause button in a darkened room. The remote is quite nice. It takes up a lot less room than my old one. The price makes is all the more worth it. What a nice, compact easy to use player.
