In Reply to: Re: Getting the X1 projector and not sure about the DVD player.... posted by sogood on January 13, 2004 at 14:20:46:
The folks over at avsforum have many but all seem outdated or quite expensive. I don't really want to spend more than $300US or so if I can get away with it. I see the Mits DD-8040 is recomended but it seems to list for way more than that. I definately don't want to go used (such as the Pana RP82/91 or XP30/50 series recomendations).
Do you use the component to V adaptor and input then? The guy I bought the X1 from told me to use the s-video so that the internal scaler is used. Everybody says something different! I also find avsforum much harder to get through.
X1 is coming soon and I have no idea what to do.

Hi grantvThe component to S-video feed looks very good and will make 99% of the people that would buy this bang for buck projector happy IMO. Your DVD player only need fill your needs, If your not going to need a player with built-in decoders..why pay for them? If you don't care about SACD or DVD-audio, why pay for that? Many times the bare bones players offer the same video performance..it's just that the next model up in the line offers these extras which some people want or need.
I bought both types of cables because I am building a dedicated room and want to cover all bases before the sheet-rock goes up. You can see some pictures if you click on the URL in my system. My room is used for music 80% and movies 20%..this could balance out more in the future if HD-television ever gets it going. This is the reason I wanted to cover all bases on the cable issues. So you can see that each of us may have different needs and goals and there may be no one size fits all answers.
That said: there are some (very few) DVD players that can output 780P and 1080i from their component video outputs, these players need to use the VGA input only (there may be more players like these in the future) but I don't know that. As far as picture quality difference between 480P (VGA input) and (Component/S-video) inputs, I don't see enough to be an issue in your price range of DVD players. I would buy a DVD player from a company that has a good track record for quality and one with the features that are important to you and your system.
Hope this helps a little
Dave
