YOU WANT THE BEST DVD EXPERIENCE FORGET BLU-RAY AND HD DVD LET {VHS AND BETA GO AT IT}WITH AN HDMI UP CONVERTER DVD PLAYER SUCH AS A SONY WHICH I OWN AND USE.TRY THAT WITH ANY HDMI COMPATIBLE TV AND BE SHOCKED THE QUALITY IS SO GOOD YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS BLU-RAY OR HD DVD.THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH RIGHT NOW GIVE IT ABOUT 1 OR 2 YEARS FOR BLUE RAY AND HD DVD TO GET CHEAP THEN GO FOR IT.YOU WONT GET THE TRUE BLU- RAY OR HD DVD EXPERIENCE UNLESS YOU HAVE A TRUE 1080P TV SO IT IS A WAIST OF MONEY TO BUY A NEW TV JUST FOR THAT.AN UP CONVERTER GIVES YOU 720P OR 1080I QUALITY I ALMOST DON'T SEE THE  DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS THAT YOU MUST BE WISE WHEN BUYING.I AT FIRST BOUGHT A CYBERHOME DVD HDMI PLAYER AND IT BROKE ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER AND THERE WHERE RED LINES IN THE MOVIE ALSO A GOOD CABEL IS IMPORTANT TRY IT FOR YOURSELF YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT THE HIGH QUALITY.
