Guys,
I haven't spent a lot of time following DVD players lately, but I just bought a new tv (Sony KD-34XBR960) and I definitely need a new DVD player now!
Here's what I can figure out so far:
- This TV has only one HDMI input; cable box has DVI out, so I can get a DVI-to-HDMI cable for this, which I presume will be better than component.
- Clearly I need a progressive scan player. Would I benefit from a player that upconverts to 720p or 1080i.
- Being that this is not a fixed pixel display, would I get as much of a benefit from an upconverting player as say, somebody with a HD plasma?
- I want the best connection possible for the DVD player, and the TV supports fire wire apparently. Are there any DVD players that output a signal through fire wire? Is is better than using component?
So, I guess I'm asking for recommendations for a progressive DVD player that outputs through fire wire, unless that's worse than component.
Thanks.
