 Your TV may already upscale July 6, 2008
I bought this player to replace an older progressive scan DVD (Sony DVP-NS41P) attached to a fairly new Sony HD LCD (46V2500) hoping the NS700 would improve DVD playback. It didn't. The TV upscales every input to the highest that input will allow (ie: HMDI scales to 1080p, component to 1080i, etc). I was hoping the player would scale better than the TV, but that wasn't the case. For some reason we ended up with two copies of Spiderman 2, so I played one on the progessive scan DVD & one on the upscaling DVD (at the same time)and flipped between them to compare. The picture looked pretty much the same (maybe a little worse, if anything). Even after fiddling with the TV inputs, it only ever looked the same. If you already have a good upscaling TV, just stick with that.
excellent DVD player July 6, 2008
This HDMI capable DVD player has excellent format selection and the upscaling (to 1080p)of commercial DVD's looks quite good on my new 1080p Sony HDTV---Plus the pricing of this device is excellent! It is not true HD quality but I would not hesitate to recommend this player to anyone who wants 1080p upscaling capability but is not in a hurry to plunk down big bucks for a Blu-Ray player that will give true HD performance.
The few minor "cons" are not really worth listing as it does its job, i.e. playing video/DVD content quite well.

This player has handled every DVD I've thrown at it. Produces an excellent picture. No problems. Does an amazing job of upscaling. Couldn't be happier.
Best of the Pure DVD Players June 23, 2008

I have gone through several DVD players and determined that Sony is consistently the best brand in terms of quality. I recently purchased they Sony DVP-NS700 as a last minute replacement for my Toshiba dual VHS/DVD player. Unfortunately the Toshiba developed the same malady as my previous Toshiba, which was the same affliction as my initial Philips Magnavox. The problem with these previous players was that they sometimes struggled with some DVDs. Random chapters would freeze or become choppy sometimes loosing the soundtrack all together. For a while I blamed this peculiarity on blemished DVD surfaces or laser-reader head needing cleaning. The truth of the matter was that the laser-reader units in other brands were just not up to tolerances in Sony products. For DVDs failing to operate correctly on other machines I would often retry them on my old reliable Sony player. Sure enough, in most cases, the DVDs would play perfectly.
Our upstairs Toshiba experienced the above-mentioned glitches on a regular enough basis that my son was concerned that his long planned DVD movie get-together would be ruined. In searching for a replacement I stumbled onto the DVD-only machines. Slim, lightweight, and affordable I was able to buy the DVP-NS700 to supplement the living room's sometimes ailing system. Instead of a 100 percent replacement I simply put the new machine on top After I hooked up the player I tried some of the known troubled DVDs on the machine as a test. All played without issue.
The only regret I have about installing the new player is that my two-year old Panasonic HD television does not have a dedicated HD cable hookup. As such I was forced to use the standard three-wire component cables to connect the player to the television. Despite this challenge the picture is the clearest I have ever seen from a DVD player.
 Some have issues June 18, 2008
For the most part this is a great dvd IF you get one that works. I had two that were play about 90% of the dvd and then lose the picture. Finally gave up and switched to a different player. Had hoped that since this was not a extreme low end player, that this wouldn't happen. Load times for dvd was long. When the dvd played, picture quality was great, upscaling was almost as good as bluray. Menu system is fairly intuitive.
