Hey all,
I have read around on the differences between DVI vs. HDMI vs. Component. Basically, as you may know, they all pretty much agree that the PQ can be VERY close with all sources depending on the source. However, the question I have was never specifically touched on... I'm going to be picking up a Mits 65" WS-65315. I currently have the ever-famous Panasonic RP-82 DVD Player. Now, I am trying to decide if component (using prog. scan, of course) would look the same, worse, or better than buying a new Samsung DVD player that upconverts using a DVI connection? Are there any players that use DVI but don't upconvert? Is that an option that can be turned off? If that's the case, then there may be times when a "non-upconverted" DVD signal using DVI looks better than the up-converted one....
Anyhow, back to my RP82. Now, this player uses progressive scan. I have never had an HD set before, and I understand that Prog. Scan is only utilized when the TV is HD....is that true as well? I would like to think that my RP-82 with component will be better than the new upconverted DVI players -- but I suppose your responses will answer that for me....
Thanks,
Matt
