If you want to watch NTSC then a dedicated NTSC only player like the Elite will be the choice, cld 925 like the cld 2950 are the top pal/ntsc players, if you are UK based or in a pal region and want the best pal set then one of the aforementioned combi players would be good with this set La Trilogie THX PAL with english soundtrack but french subs.

Forget to mention I have the cld2950 and I think mother has the cld 925, I find the picture to be pretty good but thats only on a 28' Sony Widescreen

Hope that helps
