Well, after months of deliberation (and lurking on the boards) I've finally made a final decision on which rediculously expensive Tv I'm going to buy. Sometime in the next month I'm going to head down to the local BB and pick up a Samsung HLN507W. After seeing it in action, I can't deny that DLP owns my heart. Now the only problems I have is deciding on what to hook up to it.
My eye is on one of the Sammy 931s, since I've heard quite a few people remark on how wonderful the DVI output is on these. I've heard some mention of a player from Bravo as well, but have yet to see one in a store. At the moment which player would be the better choice for a 50" DLP? Also, am I tough out of luck with the single DVI input if I want to get a HD set hookuped up at the same time as the DVD player? I doubt there is any sort of splitter or switcher in existance, but I thought I'd ask since it will be a pain to unplug one and plug in the other every time I want to switch from TV to movies.
I also have a PS2 and XBox to hook up and I'm curious as to the cables to buy. I of course have heard about the amazing quality of Monster cables, but seeing as I used to sell the things I know they are at least in part horribly over priced. Are there cheaper alternatives to these that have roughly the same quality?
Also, anyone that has one of these TVs already, I would love to hear feedback on them. Any calibration tips, hardware that is especially good to pickup for one, or even just what you think of the set in general.
Thanks folks
