  I also just got a 931 and hooked it up via DVI. I love the picture on my Sony 50" LCD/RP. And the cable came with the deck for only $220 free shipping from Amazon. What's not to love : )

  It is nice your friend says that but the intent of my post was to say that the new samsung player performs well. I have not actually compared the DVI output on that player to the component out on the same player. In addition, the dvd-hd931 outperforms the denon 1600, 2800, 2900 set of players (in my opinion). I will have to switch back an forth with component output and dvi output to see what I think but see no reason not use the dvi input. BTW...I would still like to drive a ferrari in london....especially if it only cost 300 dollars.

  I am told by a reliable ISF source (and friend) that unless you are going into a data grade device the DVI advantage is wasted (although he has installed them for customers who insist).

    What's the point in owning a Ferrari if you drive in central London only.
    It's overkill. Component cables of decent build (often RG6 with rca tips gives optimal performance) is as much as you need. Some expensive cables make a difference, but we're talking about a source here that only carries a fraction of the information a TV is capable of displaying. No point.

      The DVI is much better than the Component! A no brainer!

      Good Luck...

    • DVI advantage - Joe Murphy Jr 18:20:47 04/12/04 (0)

      In no special order:
      #1 At least one less A/D D/A conversion with a digital display
      #2 Less video noise
      #3 At least equal, but usually more accurate signal transfer
      #4 One cable vs three cables for video
      #5 Scaling in DVD players with DVI outputs is better than the scaling in most displays
      #6 In displays 42" and up the advantages become more apparent
      #7 Do I really need a #7?
