Reviews of the Denon DVD-2930CI

CNET Review
The Good: Outstanding image quality; upscales to 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p; plays SACD, DVD-Audio, and DivX; solid build quality.
The Bad: Very expensive for a deck that doesn't play next-gen HD-DVD or Blu-ray discs.
The Bottom Line: We were floored by the Denon DVD-2930CI's image quality, but we were also floored by its high price.

Review Summary: Considering the vast amount of high-end technology on board, this is almost a bargain. The 1080p upscaling, DVD-Audio/SACD playback, bomb-shelter build quality and astounding AV performance all add up to a knockout proposition that are difficult to ignore
