I am currently looking at a new DVD player, amp and Plsma and am trying to get some sort of budget together. Probably about £4K all in. Would be very grateful for any advice or a link to a similar thread (not found it yet though)
Questions are:
1)a number of less expensive DVD players (Panasonic S97, Samsung HD945) feature upscaling, however some more expensive models (Pioneer 668AV) dont seem to mention this. Is this due to the Pany and Samsugn being newer models or do some higher priced units leave the scaling to the plasma? Is the upscaling any good on these entry level units?
2)Plasma will have a DVI / HDMI connection. Is a medium priced DVD player (£4-500) better with a good set of component leads or is a cheapy HDMI/DVI DVD player going to win everytime?
3)Should I just go for one of the cheaper options with HDMI for now and await HD-DVD / Blu Ray when that becomes affordable in 2/3/x years time?
Thanks for any thoughts
