Interesting and good points to think about.
I dont want to blow a bunch of money on something that most likely will need to be replaced very very soon but at the same time after spending so much on this whole project I do want to see it all in the best possible picture that I can.
Anyway what are anyone thoughts on the player
Samsung DVD-HD960
Samsung's DVD-HD960 is slim, elegant DVD player with multiple features. The players offer up-conversion, HDMI outputs for simple, single-cable connection of uncompressed digital video, and HD JPEG playback for viewing crystal clear photos in the comfort of your home theater. The super-slim, DVD-HD960 goes up to a near HD, 1080p resolution. Includes Faroudja DCDi Video Processing!
I talked them into throwing it in for free when I ordered my projector. I'm not sure if it is worth installing in the new HT room or maybe just replacing one on a regular tv in the house.
Its free and Im happy with the added bonus but as Bob says after investing so much into this project I do want to see it with the best picture I can rather then half doing it at this step.
Bob how much difference in the new player do you actually see?
