Fonsy,
See the Secrets of Home Theatre Progressive-scan DVD shootout report. Here's the link:

There are 2 players there that DO NOT have the chroma bug, have an excellent picture and are less than $250. One of them even has the Sage/Faroudja chip in it at that price. Although that particular model ONLY has an OPTICAL digital out....NO coax. That is the Panasonic DVD-RP56.
Happy watching and listening!
