Ok, so sound performance should not be a consideration for you, as your TV's speakers will be unable to bring out the improvement in sonic performance. Look at Panasonic BDT220 / Sony S490.

For blu ray pictures, I haven't noticed any difference between players at different price points. DVD upscaling can differ. Both Sony & Panasonic are decent upscalers. Demo the players & see if you can appreciate any difference.
