reccomendations on a new dvd player with HDMI???? help - Club CDFreaks

mikej3131 · 18-04-2006

Ok im getting a new 46" samsung flat panel lcd with dual hdmi inputs and definitaly wanna see this tv at its best with dvd's so i was wondering if anyone can help me out here.

Im looking for a dvd player with HDMI output that gives the user the option to either upscale from the dvd player or not upscale if i dont want to. The reason being is because this tv should have a good upscaler considering it was 4000 dollars and i might not even want the dvd player to upconvert for me as the tv would do it better.
and another thing i need with this dvd player is the ability to play dvd-r's and dv-rw's very well

Now with those specs said, can anybody suggest what is the best dvd player that gives the best PQ with those specs i stated?

Someone in another thread mentioned the panasonic s77 or s79. anybody have experience with these?

I suggest you start off by reading Se�n's review of the NeoDigits HVD2085 High Definition upscaling DVD Player at the top of the forum page. That'll probably surpass your specifications.

and thats not aknown brand for dvd players is it?

EDIT: oh thats a hd dvd playr. probaly wayyy to expensive for me

I'm wondering if you read the review? It will indeed upscale your standard DVDs, probably better than the on-board electronics of the plasma screen you bought.

If you look around it's about 199 USD - not too bad a companion for a 4000-dollar display...

a hd dvd player that is 200 usd. are you sure?

EDIT: it doesnt support dvd-r's : http://www.neodigits.com/new/body/pr...85/feature.asp

Well, try here...

However I think you're misinterpreting the specifications. It's not a native HD DVD player (ie BluRay, HD-DVD), but will upscale your standard DVDs to HD quality.

EDIT: I tell you what - why don't you go read Seans's review and see whether your last EDIT statement is still worth making.

Yes, of course. If you believe six lines of text each from a couple of dissatisfied users constitutes an adequate review sample size.

Good luck in finding your player...
