i am planning a HT system with the Samsung 61" DLP, which has a DVI input. my sources will be DirecTv for HDTV and OTA broadcasts and an occasional DVD. i want to get the best, latest HDTV satellite receiver as cost for this line item is not much, comparatively, and i am willing to go with the branded (expensive) DVI cables for sake of a better picture.
DVI -- one salesperson said that its failing is how well it shows problems with the signal. others say that DVI only serves as a copywright protection scheme or that it is not getting the industry support it needs for longevity.
related thought -- what to make of the new samsung DVD player that claims to be the "first" HDTV compliant DVD player by upconverting signal to 720p and 1080i (Samsung HD HD931). i've read some user comments that are close to euphoric. you must use its DVI output.
if it is the case that a $299 list DVD player will yield a better picture than others on my samsung HDTV DLP, i then have to figure out how to manage a TV with only 1 DVI input and 2 sources (HDTV receiver and DVD player) outputting in DVI. as far as i know, there are no A/V receivers with even one DVI i/o for a pass thru. is there a DVI switcher?
thanks for your thoughts.
