Great upscaling DVD player 
2008-05-15
Does as it states. Only downsides are that the load up times are a bit high and it doesn't play Divx, but then again... it doesn't state that it offers that feature.
I have owned 2 of these players for about 8 months and have absolutely no complaints besides those above. Beautiful picture quality on my 1080i projection Hitachi 50' TV.
Good upconverting

Good upconverting but since you can buy a home theater with a upconverting DVD player in it, no real need for this one (at least as a cheap low end model).
died after 1 year

Simply put its garbage after 1 year. I had purchased the Sony DVPNS75H to use with my Sony Bravia. At first I loved it, great picture but after a little over a year it stopped working. As others have reported here, after inserting a DVD it would display loading for several minutes and then eventually display can't play.
I had purchased it to hold me over until the price of Blu-Ray players came down, it didn't even last long enough for that purpose. If it had lasted for two years I might of given it 4 stars but for just over a year... its gets 1 star from me.
I am going to think very hard about buying another Sony dvd player again. Or at least factor in the cost of an extended warranty since their quality control is a failure.

Most of the time im pretty unhappy with the results of the upscaling on my 40" samsung and then just 3months into owning the player my sound started cuting off about ever hour or so into the movie.You most eject the desk to get it working right..Pain!!
Slow...Very Slow

I have always been a fan of Sony products, but my faith is waning.
I bought this unit to replace a dead Sony which lasted many years.
I do not have HDTV (yet) so I can only vouch for the performance of the unit and not on the picture quality.
As the title states, it is SLOW. Slow to open and close, slow to load the DVD content.
In addition, it seems prone to hang up and kid's videos from Netflix (i.e. scratched), so in that regard does not perform better than its predecessor.
I would seriously consider a Samsung or some other the next time around. And pay better attention to the reviews.
It's Not HD But Very Close

The DVP-NS75H single-disc DVD player offers 720p and 1080i upscaling through an HDMI connection (High Definition Multi Media Interface). HDMI allows the transfer of uncompressed digital audio and video signals to other HDMI equipped components, providing an uncompromised picture. It also features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, which delivers accurate and vivid images to the television. 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. 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 a 12bit/108MHz video DAC (digital to analog converter), and 24 bit/192KHz audio, providing high-quality video and audio processing for vivid images and crystal clear sound.
Plays Everything!

I have had this DVD player for about 5 months and I am nothing but happy. I bought it for the upconverting feature which provides amazing results, but the biggest benefit has been that it "plays everything". I have three other DVD players in the house and often run into difficulties playing recorded media or DVDs purchased used. This Sony hasn't failed to play anything I put into it. I was hesitant to buy any Sony product other than their TVs. I have owned Sony computers, phones, personal CD Players, car stereos, and home stereo components; all were junk or failed prematurely. This unit is giving me renewed hope in Sony.
I also own a Samsung upconverting DVD player. The pictue quality is good, but it is very sensitive to media and querky in the HDMI connection. For the same price, Go Sony.
Sony DVPNS75H upscaling DVD player

DVD player that upconverts regular DVD video to HD (1080i). Works well. Needs HDMI cable.
Good for the price

Wider than I expected, but produces a good image and good audio. Looks very nice.
Fantastic!

I purchased a refurbished unit from Sony via Amazon and am very happy with it. I'm amazed at how good standard-definition DVD's can look when upscaled (in my case, to 720p). As I write this, the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray Battle is still up in the air, and the prices for those machines are way too high, but now I really don't care.
