Hi Guys, I know there are a million and one threads asking your advice on DVD players and I apologise for adding another one but I'm a bit stuck.
I used to read the forums every day and was quite well clued up on the latest models but I've been so busy for a while that I'm well out of touch!
I'm in the market for a DVD player to feed my plasma through the DVI input. I've looked at a few players but the majority seem to be HDMI now - eg Samsung HD950. I know I can use the HDMI-DVI cable (assuming HDCP compliance) to connect to the telly but as I have a 12.5m DVI cable extension between the two and the new cable would be about 1m long so I'm gonna be 11.5m short!! Last time I looked there was no way to connect the two cables together so I'm presuming I need a player with DVI out. I know that one of the older Samsung Upscalers had DVI and HDMI but I can't find a new model with this feature. The Momitsu player apparently does this but I don't know a huge amount about them and, let's face it, they're bloody ugly looking things.
I'd really just like someone's ideas and opinions about which would be best. I've only got a skinny budget of 100-200 and preferably towards the 100 end of the scale at that. Any thoroughly happy Momitsu guys out there? Is there a Sammy with DVI? Can I get a DVI 'joint'?...
Cheers in advance.
