I'm going to buy a Denon DVD player and was wondering if someone out there has any experience between the 5900 and 2900? I know it's going to cost me about $400 more for the 5900, but would there be an advantage? I plan on keeping it for a while. I really know nothing about the 5900, but know that the 2900 has always had pretty great reviews. Or would it be wise to go to the 3910 over either of these?

I'd go with the 3910. Basically a slightly detuned 5900, but not the astronomical price of the 5910. It also has the HDMI output. DVI will eventually fade out in favor of the smaller less complex HDMI. ie...ALMOST all brand new (meaning 2005) TV's (high end) will have the HDMI input. You can get an adapter for the DVI but why waste $30-$40 bucks. Just get the 3910 and you won't regret it. All the upgrades and crap on the 5900 and 5910 in my opinion are simply for the rich. You could easily have the same audio and video results by simply buying a higher end TV and better speakers, but then again thats only my .02 :W -
Oh ya, sorry...............You can get the 3910 on the web from an authorized dealer for around $900. That 5900 or 5910 will set you back over twice that amount.Comment

I love my 2900. I am using my DVI input on my HDTV for HDTV and the 2900 is awesome for component video in. If you can do HDMI or have multiple DVI in or a switcher I could see an upside to the 3910, but if you will use component video for the next few years I can see paying extra for the 3910. JHMOComment

So this is what my local salesman said "the 3910 IS the 5900, plus better audio codecs and HDMI, only in the 2900 chasis."
Does this pretty much some it up? So I'm in between ordering the much-preferred silver 3910 and the refurbished 5900. Should this even be a toss up?... -
Any comments from those in the know? Curious.
I'm considering the 5900 for it's dual component outputs. How's the video processing compared to the 9000? I noticed the 5900 has Faroudja, vs another chip on the 9000. Is the 5900 actually more recent technology? I think it is, but looking... -

Just finishing playing for my new 5900 for 6 hours. All I can say is wow!
This thing is so HUGE it's even bigger in size then my Bryston 4BSST! Prepare your rack for a big piece of equipment, maybe 50% bigger then my Denon DVD-3800.
Nice box, with a Denon link cable and... -
Hello,
I am having unexpected problems. I connected a denon 3910 to a fujitsu plasma. I used hdmi from the 3910 to the fujitsu plasma and analog audio to the receiver (nad 773). The visuals do not show on the plasma. In the meantime I have used component connection (from 3910 to screen),...
