I'm using :star: American Express points to replace my old DVD player, so I wanted to get opinions here before I purchase something that will most likely be difficult to return.
It's hooking up to a Hitachi widescreen, that has both dvi & component inputs, and displays everything in either 540p or 1080i. I'll also use this dvd changer about 50% of the time for music.
The Samsung displays in the 1080 format, which draws me to that. Some folks say the pic is awesome, others say it's worse than regular component. The Onkyo seems to have outstanding build quality and sound, and 3:2 pulldown.
Any suggestions on which direction I should go? Amazon also has a refurbed Onkyo 701 for $99, but I've found negative reviews on that model.
Thanks for any advice, thoughts, or opinions!
