Can anybody give me a reason not to get this? My TV is HDTV ready and has a DVI input with HDCP compatibility. Anything I should know about this player or any player out there that is better for the money?
1) DVI picture was not noticeably better than component picture (which you can on DVD players that are get much cheaper).
2) My TV's native resolution is 720p and automatically upconverts anyway...so the fact that the DVD player does it became irrelevant.
3) DVDs are NOT true HD...I wanted to use the DVI port for my True-HD Satellite receiver.
4) Player could not change aspect ratio of the DVI output. The extras on most DVDs as well as many older movies are all recorded at 4:3...the player stretches it to 16:9 with no ability to change.
5) Annoying "jog" dial glows a tremondously bright blue with no dimming capability...a real annoyance in a dark (theater-like) room for a dial with no really useful function.
