Many players nowadays have DVI or HDMI connections, from the cheap to the expensive, what sort of price are you looking at?

Samsung HD745- £110
Samsung HD945- £160
Denon 1910 - £190
Panasonic S97 - £200
Cambridge Audio DVD79 - £200

Bought a DVD79 but returned it due lip synch issues, pity as PQ very good.

Now considering which other one to go for as definately impressed with DVI over component on my Sharp.

Just search the forums as all have minor issues.

An interesting twist at PriceRunner

for quite sometime i am looking to buy a DVI player, best site is PriceRunner, however, about a month ago, they removed the "DVI conncetion" filter so it is now impossible to filter out machines that have DVI. Wonder why they did it.

I too returned the CA DVD79 'cause the component pic was pants. Never tried the DVI because didn't want to blow up to 100 quid more on a lead and find there was a problem. Instead I bought the 575 and feed component into the TX100 - the pictures are excellent. I'm not saying DVI won't be better, but I've feeling that whatever DVI machine you buy at the moment there will be a gremlin somewhere.
