General Advice

[MichBlueRay]

Hi All,
Just joined today and was wondering if I could tap into the expertise that's floating around and possibly have some model numbers thrown my way.

I am about to jump into the BD world and was looking for some advice. This will be my first BD player (purchasing in the next 30 days or so). I am not the deep afficiando like some of you but am looking for a good player to watch movies (Optoma EP716 projector) with the family (and play CDs too). I'll be hooking it to my basic surround sound system either with fiber or rca. So, I think I am really looking at something better than low end and close to mid-range.

Any thoughts, ideas, bargains?

Thank you

T
