If you have a new HD set then you'll probabally want a DVD player with DVI output. That will give you perfect 1-to-1 pixel mapping if you have a digital HD set with DVI-in (as opposed to an analog HD set.) $300 will buy a whoop-ass digital DVD player, although most of the DVI based players don't have great analog output (which doesn't matter if you're using the DVI.)
Other than that, I'd worry about the layer change lag/delay. (DVD's have two layers and there can be a significant delay when the player changes from one to the other. This is usually about halfway through a move and can be as bad 2-3 seconds.)
You might also want a region-free player. If I were buying again I'd probabally get the region-free Momitsu V880.It's region-free, plays/reads ISO's so you can burn 'normal' cd's and dvd's and play them, and has a DVI port. I think it's about $300. It's also probabally the last DVD player you'll ever need (until HD-DVD shows up.)
You might check the 'Secrets of Home Theater and HiFi' website for their DVD player comparisons. They are very highly respected and go in to great depth and are pretty easy to understand.
Good Luck, and don't get suckered in to an expensive player!
