Must buy one....

And they're only around $350.

Interesting, but I can't see how it would be better, for the same money, than putting a DVD Writer, a nice multimedia video card, and a wireless LAN card in your regular PC. Then again, I've had my PC connected to my TV and VCRs since 1994, so I may be biased.

Torm is a god. Smite is his drink of choice.

Glad to see you back on the boards, Torm!!!

To the topic at hand: I have my DVD player in my comp. So why would I need a $350 piece of equipment? I have enough electronics in my room as it is...

* High-Definition Progressive Scan video output, Supports 480p, 720p, 1080i . An ideal video source for HDTV, plasma, LCD and projectors.

* DVI (Digital Visual Interface) video output

2 reasons. Oh and it's Region-Free.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the equivalent resolution for a DVD? Can a DVD show you a 1080i picture?

Normal DVDs are 480. Some DVD players "upscale" the signal to 720p or 1080i. I don't know of any DVD software that can do this. (I'm no expert though)

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I'd rather buy a standalone DVD recorder with that amount of cash.

 

[Nareau]

Or wait a few months and grab a PS3. It can do 1080p, if I remember correctly.
